New Product: Angry Red Planet Temper MIDI Sequencer

Unlike most DAWs, the Angry Red Planet Temper sequencer is designed to offer original tools that focus on MIDI and shapes, allowing more intuitive programming and experimental manipulation. Chock full of creative new ideas for MIDI-based sound design, Temper uses a modular and flexible environment with a clean interface that is ready to help you experiment. Interactive, real-time phrase manipulation allows you to take bits of recorded data and do amazing things with them using futuristic tools like the Velocirapture, which lets you create a line of Velocity-sculpted notes. The Rudiments tool allows "painting" of drum parts, and Crudiments can generate complex filter sweeps; these tools use Shapes, an interactive "curve designer," to actively shape the timing and Velocity of the MIDI notes as you adjust the angles of the curve. MIDI data-manipulation tools let you experiment further; four basic tools let you modify the start/end times, pitch and Velocity of the MIDI data, again using the Shape designer. The Flip tool can flip notes by time or pitch. Compatible with VST, Temper easily exports MIDI tracks via drag-and-drop for use with other applications, and saved Shapes can also be exported and imported for trading with other users. It's $50 for this uncrippled, unexpiring trialware at www.angryredplanet.com.
