The World’s First Universal MIDI Animation Studio

Sample Logic, in partnership with Pitch Innovations, is proud to deliver Animation Station Pro – the next step in assisted music creation. Animation Station 2.0 gave musicians an intelligent Step Animator engine for building arpeggios and step sequences. AS Pro goes further. It is now a virtual instrument plugin that hosts your instruments and effects inside itself, then animates both with the same step sequencers, LFOs, and arpeggiators that made the original engine famous. Load an instrument, load an effect, and animate every parameter that matters, all without leaving the plugin.

Three Engines. One Preset.

1. Universal Instrument Host. AS Pro loads and plays any VST or Audio Unit virtual instrument.
2. Intelligent MIDI Sequencer & Arpeggiator. Built on multi-directional patterns, stutters, chromatic transpositions, and ABCD real-time pattern switching, it creates and transforms your musical performances.
3. FX Animation Engine. Brings audio effect plugins into the same environment and animates their parameters in real time.

The sequencer and the FX engine work independently. Use AS Pro as a pure arpeggiator with no effects loaded at all, animate a static sound with no sequencing, or run both at once. The choice is yours on every patch. Then there is the Channel Preset, the vault that ties it all together. Picture building a dramatic string ostinato with the arpeggiator, running it through a hybrid distortion chain, then using an LFO to make the sound wobble, evolve, and come alive. AS Pro captures that entire creation. The instrument, the effects chain, the MIDI pattern, and the effects animation in a single preset that recalls instantly.

This is not just an arpeggiator, or just an effects tool. It is a complete animated-instrument studio. Build a full playable musical idea, preserve every layer of it, and jump between fully realized setups in a single click. Then let randomization turn any preset into a starting point for new sounds, rhythms, movements, and happy accidents. Until now, hosting instruments and effects together and animating them as one performance was something only a DAW could do. Sample Logic and Pitch Innovations have brought all of it into a single plugin which means it travels. Load a laptop, open one instance, and every instrument, effect, and animation you built in the studio is on stage with you, switchable in a single click. It is as much a live performance instrument as it is a production tool.

Animate. Host. Perform.

Whether you need a quick and easy way to create memorable melodies, or you just want to glitch the night away, AS Pro is for you. With tight deadlines and demanding clients, dialing in a perfect pattern quickly can be a life-saver, and this rapidly robust plugin makes that happen. Take your favorite virtual instrument, synth, drum machine, or sample library, load it directly inside AS Pro, and you’ll hear the incredible transformations instantly. This plugin is designed to generate limitless musical phrases with minimal effort. Simply play a few notes and cycle through the presets to find your perfect motion. AS Pro is an intuitive and dynamic one-stop solution for creating awesome arpeggio patterns with a little stutter and glitch on the side. The included presets offer a world of limitless possibilities, from simple standard arps to extreme experimental patterns and everything in between. For songwriting inspiration, try the melodic and chordal sequences, drum machine style patterns for kicking your beats up a notch, or glitchy stutters that would previously have taken forever to create using standard MIDI programming.
