u003cpu003eu003cstrongu003eWORK SMARTER, NOT HARDERu003c/strongu003eu003c/pu003enu003cpu003eAs its name implies, ANIMATION STATION is your secret tool for creating active motion with any MIDI-enabled virtual, or real world instrument. Despite the intricacies of the scripting under the hood, Sample Logic has designed a straightforward approach to conjure innovative magic without layers of complexity. This isn’t just your run-of-the-mill arpeggiator – No siree! This plugin has numerous customizable functions and performance parameters that come together to create a sequencer without borders. Set the length and attributes of each step independently, or select from hundreds of unique animation presets. These can all be independently randomized, generating new patterns on the fly. Shuffle the steps, or grab a single step and move it around within the sequence. In addition to the real-time performance engine, ANIMATION STATION is designed with MIDI drag and drop technology. Export MIDI from an active instance of the plugin and apply it to other instrument tracks in a DAW for further tweaking.u003c/pu003enu003cpu003eu003cstrongu003eTHE POWER OF PRESETSu003c/strongu003eu003c/pu003enu003cpu003eBuilt from the ground up, this is an entirely new engine which is specifically engineered by Sample Logic for masterful MIDI manipulation.
