The Acolyte is a MIDI processing plugin available in AU, VST, and VST3 formats for Windows and macOS. Designed to generate dynamic, randomized sequences from incoming MIDI input, it offers an efficient way to create evolving patterns, arpeggios, and basslines without extensive manual programming. While the generated MIDI can be recorded and edited within your DAW for further customization, the plugin excels as a live performance tool, enabling the creation of continuous, shifting patterns with minimal effort on stage.

This plugin provides extensive control over timing, note length, velocity, and probability to shape the generated sequences precisely. Users can manipulate time divisions from 1/32 to 1/2 notes, apply slow-down factors for extended note durations, and control the likelihood of note playback to introduce rhythmic variation. Its ability to handle multiple input notes and apply transpositions up to two octaves allows for complex melodic structures. Additionally, the Acolyte includes a selection of over 60 musical scales for instant note mapping and features such as sidechain to avoid downbeat clashes, hold mode for sustained playback, and full parameter automation.

The Acolyte integrates smoothly with most DAWs capable of MIDI output and filtering, including Logic Pro, Cubase, Bitwig, Cakewalk, Reaper, FL Studio, and Studio One. Setup may vary depending on the host environment, with support for both MIDI FX and synth plugin versions to ensure compatibility. Comprehensive documentation accompanies the plugin to guide users through installation and configuration, making it accessible for both studio production and live use. Regular updates have enhanced its functionality, adding features like syncopation, multi-note input, and improved timing accuracy.
