REQ: Defective Records M-185 Step Sequencer
Software recreation of the hardware M-185 step sequencer, designed by Ryk – developed with his input!
Includes virtually all major functions from the hardware M185, and adds many new ones specific to the software version.
• Multi-stage step sequencer with stage-selectable gate modes
• Now expanded from 8 to 16 stages
• Gate modes include Mute, Single, Multi and Hold
• Ratchet mode available when in Multi mode within a stage

• Global transpose – new easy octave up and octave down buttons
• Internal or MIDI clock control
• Built-in clock divide capability
• Forward, reverse, ping pong, random & Brownian “drunken walk” modes
• Note pitch, stage length and stage mode randomization functions
• Stage lock to prevent randomization or MIDI note input changes
• MIDI output to any hardware or software synth
• VST instrument hosting, and now VST3 and AU as well(AU is Mac only)
• ReWire audio slave support
• 16 preset slots for instant recall of parameters
• Presets can be saved to and loaded from disk
