OODA: The Game-Changer in Portable MIDI Sequencing

OODA by Ryan Robinson revolutionizes portable music production, offering intuitive MIDI sequencing on the go for musicians and producers alike.
OODA presents a fresh approach to the traditional MIDI step sequencer by incorporating interactive and semi-generative features.
What sets OODA apart is the ability to connect arbitrary steps using conditional "wormholes," introducing structured or random variations to your sequences. Another standout feature is the decoupling of OODA's underlying model from its voices, enabling real-time interaction with sequences and the creation of melodic variations without affecting the groove.
The open-ended sequence grid of OODA offers versatility for various applications, whether it's crafting simple melodies, basslines, semi-generative chords, or arpeggios - OODA can accommodate all with a touch of creativity!
Key Features:
- Record sequences up to 64 steps with in-app keyboard or external MIDI device
- Interact dynamically with your sequence using four "action" buttons
- Link steps through conditional wormholes to introduce structure and variation
- Create intricate patterns of melody and rhythm with four independent voices
- Adjust voice speed independently of sequencer speed
- Includes ten factory presets to showcase OODA's capabilities
- Explore a comprehensive yet focused range of parameters:
- Sequencer Settings
- Grid size (4x4 or 8x8)
- Sync voices to sequencer rate
- Sequencer rate
- Sequencer direction
- Shift amount (semitones)
- Live toggle rests and skips
- Wormhole Patcher
- Create conditional connections between arbitrary steps
- Define per-step wormholes, including destination and normal steps per wormhole
- Sets trig conditions and probability for transitioning through each wormhole
- Voice Settings
- Four voices with independent settings
- Detailed controls over play rate, note length, pitch offset, and rules for note selection
- Unique pattern control for creating rhythms and polymeters, featuring step options like holds, ties, accents, ratchets, and trig conditions
- MIDI velocity and channel adjustments</lin >
Important:
OODA functions as a standalone app as well as an AUv3 plugin. It's crucial to note the distinctions between the two. The standalone app features a convenient "Sidekick Synth" for quick experimentation and MIDI sending capabilities. In contrast, the OODA AUv3 plugin does not produce sound; instead, it sends MIDI note messages to other apps, plugins, or hardware instruments responsible for sound generation. AUv3 plugins require use within a compatible host.
Available Wormhole Rules:
- Always, 1x through 7x, 2:2 through 8:8, 10%, 25%, 33%, 50%, 67%, 75%, 90%, Last, Not Last</l i >
