Start with a note, chord or an existing MIDI loop.
MULTI-LAYER GENERATIVE MIDI SEQUENCER · PRIVATE BETA
Turn static MIDI into living patterns.
TRIG LAB transforms notes, chords and MIDI loops into evolving arps, acid lines, fills and generative performances—then renders the result back into your DAW as editable MIDI.
macOS + WindowsVST3 + AU v2PPQ sample-accurate timingMIDI output onlyFully resizable UI
Build arps, acid lines, fills and evolving trigger behaviour.
Control variation in real time while everything stays in sync.
Return the result to your DAW as editable MIDI.
Hardware-minded sequencing. Digital power. Total recall.
TRIG LAB brings the hands-on, signal-flow thinking of modular hardware into your DAW—with deep modulation, real-time control and total recall for every pattern, parameter and performance.
HANDS-ON CONTROLDEEP MODULATIONINSTANT RECALL
ONE WORKSPACE · COMPLETE CONTROL
From one note to a complete performance.
Build, shape and arrange evolving MIDI without breaking the creative flow.
Create motion
Turn simple material into rhythmic, melodic and generative movement.
Control variation
Direct density, timing, conditions and articulation with precision.
Keep it editable
Render the performance back to your DAW and refine every note.
CAPTURE · CREATE · TRANSFORM
Play it in. Build it step by step.
Record musical ideas directly into TRIG LAB, then turn them into controlled variation.
Real-time MIDI recording
Play notes and chords live and record them directly into the piano roll or active sequencer.
Precise step recording
Enter notes or chords one step at a time for fast, deliberate pattern building.
Random that stays musical
Create pitch-aware variations and chord movement that remain connected to your musical context.
EVERY TRIGGER HAS A BEHAVIOUR
Shape every step.
Control pitch, velocity, gate, conditions, scenes, hold, slide, repeat, chords and timing at the individual trigger level.
THREE ENGINES INSIDE EVERY STEP
One step can become a complete phrase.
Each source step can play a note, generate a chord or unfold into its own arpeggiated performance.
A sequencer inside the sequencer.
Give any step its own tempo-synced 16-step pattern with independent rate, octave range, gate, phase and length.
- Up, Down, Up/Down, As Played and Random
- Chord Repeat or fully custom User pattern
- Semitone, Scale Degree or Chord Degree pitch
- Forward, Backward, Pendulum or Random loop
Give every step its own harmony.
Switch a step from a single note to an independent chord with musical presets or a custom four-voice voicing.
- Power, Major, Minor, 7th, Sus, Add9 and more
- Exact, Key-constrained or Scale Degree pitch
- Independent voice intervals and enable states
- Per-step strum timing
Change behaviour on every visit.
Create up to four independent scenes for a step. Each visit advances to the next scene and recalls its complete behaviour.
- Different Note, Chord or Arp mode per scene
- Independent chord and Mini ARP settings
- Scene-specific pitch, velocity, gate and timing
- Hold, slide, repeat, retrig and conditions
GLOBAL FILLS · PPQ-SYNCED
Four alternate performances. Ready on the next downbeat.
Build complete variations of your base pattern, trigger them live or let TRIG LAB schedule them automatically.
Four editable Fill patterns
Each Fill is a complete pattern with its own notes, steps, chords, Mini ARPs and scenes. Start from the base, edit freely, then copy and paste between Fill slots.
One Shot or Latch
Play a Fill once and return to Base automatically, or latch it for continuous playback. Trigger from the interface or directly with MIDI notes 24–27.
Automatic Fill scheduler
Choose a four-slot Fill order, then run it Forward, Random, Reverse or Pendulum at a configurable bar interval and Fill length.
Sample-accurate transitions
Fill changes land sample-accurately on the next PPQ-aligned downbeat, then return to Base while every pattern keeps its independent Scene and Condition progress.

MOVEMENT BUILT IN
Design modulation inside the pattern.
Draw, randomize and shape synchronized modulation without leaving the sequencer. Motion becomes part of the pattern—not an afterthought.
MIDI CC + DAW AUTOMATION
Every parameter. Ready to perform.
All TRIG LAB parameters are MIDI CC mappable and exposed for real-time automation inside your favorite DAW.
Assign parameters to knobs, faders and controllers for hands-on performance.
Record or edit parameter movement directly on your DAW timeline with real-time response.
PER-NOTE MIDI OUTPUT
One pattern. Every instrument.
Give every note its own MIDI output. Use a single TRIG LAB performance to drive multiple VST instruments, external synthesizers, drum machines or your favorite hardware gear.

ARRANGEMENT SECTIONS
Organize patterns like a song.
Turn the piano roll into a musical structure with named, color-coded sections for intros, verses, builds, drops, breaks and custom parts.
Name, type and color every part.
Create sections anywhere on the timeline or generate a ready-made song structure with Intro, Verse, Build, Drop, Break and Outro.
Arrange directly on the PPQ grid.
Drag to reorder complete sections, move them in time or resize their boundaries with grid-aware snapping and overlap protection.
Keep the music attached.
Lock a section and its notes move with it. Reorder the arrangement without manually rebuilding the MIDI inside each part.
Duplicate. Change. Transform.
Duplicate a section with its notes, create a named variation, set the loop to that section or convert its complete range into a Trig pattern.
NO CREATIVE DEAD END
Perform it. Render it. Keep editing.
TRIG LAB gives you generative speed without locking the result inside the plugin.
