1. What Is Tuğrul Akyüz’s TugMidiSeq?
TugMidiSeq is a polyphonic arpeggiator / sequencer that lines up the notes of the chord you hold in lanes, from lowest to highest, and builds polyphonic patterns that follow the beats of the sequence window. Version 2.6.0 redesigned the interface from scratch and added new features such as pattern slots and chord / strum lanes. The current release is 2.6.1, which fixes a playback issue in Logic.
It is distributed on Gumroad for Mac / Windows / Linux on a pay-what-you-want basis, starting at $0.
