- Random mode to produce surprising step sequences & melodies,
- You can save up to 8 different sequences.
Instinctive
- Step sequence & melodies can be played forward or reverse,
- Transposition mode,
- Mute mode to mute randomly notes,
- Alive mode to humanize velocity for each step (terrific on HitHats),

A Radar ? Re-arrange steps order ?
This plug in aims at proposing a new way of creating and sequencing melodies.
On top of proposing normal step sequencer functions, it proposes several functions to re-order the note orders without destroying the original composition:
- Normally a sequence goes from 1 to 16 steps. When you play this sequence, the step orders are : 1 followed by 2 then 3… etc. until 16.
- Now, let’s imagine that you could re-arrange this order. For instance, why not playing steps like 1,2, 5,6, 1,2, 5,6 ?
MeloBang lets you re-arrange the way you want the order of the played sequence. You can use 3 modes:
- BigBang: a Chaotic mode to re-arrange the way the note orders are played,
- Factory Patterns: a set of pre defined note order (based on Euclidean algorithm),
- Draw mode : you can draw you own order,
In case of an emergency, a Panic button has been added to re-initialise the melody back to its orignal state. You are safe !
Link ?
We added a Link mode : you can play the whole 8 sequences at the same time.
Use case
-
- Imagine a drum rack with 8 PADS filled with percussion sounds,
- For each sequence create a melody,
- Then click on ‘Link’,
- MeloBang will play the whole 8 sequences at the same time,
- As a consequence, MeloBang becomes a DrumBox.
Slice ?
We added a Slice mode
Use case
- In MeloBang, click on Slice button,
- Add an Ableton Live Simpler Instrument filled with an audio loop,
- In Simpler, click on ‘Slice’ too.
- Then play with MeloBang, and re-order the slices to create spicy new audio loops 🙂
A video will come soon.
Break effect ?
Let’s go back to our Link mode
Use case
- Imagine a drum rack filled with 64 or 128 pads 🙂
- If you click on ‘Link’, MeloBang will play the whole 8 sequence at the same time.
- Now play with the transpose function,
- MeloBang will create a “breaking” melodies, a new nice drum feel & sounds …
- a video will come soon.

For the moment .. we are not offering a DEMO version 🙁
- We usually provide demo version of our plug-ins,
- We worked on a MeloBang demo version but the results were not concluant,
- We didn’t want to publish a faillsoft version that wouldn’t show all the plugin capabilities,
- Rather, we decided to set a promotion period (nice price !).
We hope you will understand: providing good quality plug-ins matter.
