Sugar Bytes Thesys MIDI Controlled Step Sequencer (Download) Overview
Available for download, Sugar Bytes Thesys is a powerful 32-step MIDI sequencer that’s easy to use. It is designed to give you complete control over your favorite devices, turning them into a sequencer. Create evolving bass lines, leads, pulsating chords, and dynamic pad sounds with this software. Use it live, in the studio, or anywhere else the music moves you.
With Thesys, you can send patterns of MIDI data over various parameters, going beyond pitch and velocity to execute program change, portamento, aftertouch or MIDI control commands. In live contexts, the software provides a versatile panoply of effects options, all of which can be triggered from a MIDI keyboard. In the studio, you can use Thesys as a plugin that can be instantiated in any DAW with AU, VST, and AAX compatibility. It is compatible with Mac and Windows operating systems.

Sequencer Tracks
Pitch: the pitch sequencer works in relation to the root key and transposes it by ±12 semitones. It can work in chromatic mode or in scaled mode which expands the tonal capabilities a lot. In addition, the pitch sequencer has a flexible recording function
Lock: lock is part of the pitch sequencer. An active step deactivates the MIDI transposing. This is useful for keeping important notes and chords in key while transposing the sequence
Gate: the Gate Sequencer creates notes and determines their velocity
Mute: the Mute Sequencer is part of the Gate Sequencer and mutes the selected step
Gate Time: the Gate Time Sequencer determines how long a note is held. Notes can be held up to four times the duration of a step
Octave: this sequencer moves the pitch the pitch by ±2 octaves
Pitchbend: here you can select from 12 pitch bend figures to be engaged
Chord: a chord is generated using the current note in the pitch sequencer as the root note. Six variations and four wrap-arounds for major and minor plus six special chords like diminished and augmented are available
Break: this sequencer lets you set a multi-trigger at 2, 3, or 4 times the normal sequencer speed, playing the current scale up or downwards or just repeating the current note. 18 breaks are available
Random: each sequencer step can be replaced by a random value. Minor and major chords can be individually randomized to maintain the harmonic structure
Action Section
Gate Time: the gate time can be increased or decreased, depending on how long you press the button
Velo Gate: the note will only play if it is above the selected velocity threshold
Looper: the selected part of the sequence will be looped
Slowdown: the sequence slows down until it come to a dead stop
Retrigger: retrigger the sequence by pressing the button; upon release, the sequencer continues at its normal position
Halftime: the sequence will play at half speed
Octave Up: the sequence will play one octave higher as long as you press the button
Mute: mutes all data output
