Rapid Flow release omniGRID

New flagship sequencing plug-in revealed

Rapid Flow have just launched a new 16-track sequencer plug-in which they say has been designed for total rhythmic expression, polymetric sequencing, and vintage hardware groove emulation . Building on the capabilities of the recently released miniGRID, omniGRID offers up to 64 steps per track and features six deep per-step parameter graphs, Euclidean rhythm generation, built-in scale quantisation and eight shuffle modes to promise to offer a more human' feel than standard modern sequencers.

Each of the plug-in's 16 lanes can contain 4-64 steps, and as all lanes can be configured independently, omniGRID is capable of creating complex polyrhythmic patterns; Velocity, Note Length, Timing Shift, Probability, Step Repeats and Repeat Intervals can all be set on a per-step basis. Each lane offers microtiming shifts - there's also a global master that allows changes to be made quickly across all lanes - and the plug-in includes eight distinct shuffle modes that emulate the timing behaviour of some classic drum machines and sequencers.

Key Features

16 Independent MIDI Tracks: Individual track routing, custom naming, per-track mute, solo and gain trim across a comprehensive 4x4 performance pad matrix.

Polymetric 4-64 Step Sequences: Independent pattern lengths (4 to 64 steps) and variable step resolutions (1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32) per track for complex phasing rhythms.

Per-Lane & Master Microtiming Shift: Microtiming shift per lane for instant pocket inspired by classic hardware workflows, plus master timing shift across all lanes to easily align real-time playback with external sound generators.

Six Per-Step Parameter Graphs: Deep step-by-step editing for Velocity, Note Length (10-400 %), Timing Shift, Probability (0-100%), Repeats (1-8) and Repeat Intervals with dedicated per-graph randomisation.

Eight Iconic Shuffle Styles: Inspired by the timing behaviour of legendary machines, bringing legendary vintage shuffle feel into your DAW without external hardware.

Euclidean Rhythm Generator: Algorithmic rhythm generator on every track with independent controls for total step count, pulse density and rotation offset.

Advanced Arpeggiator & Scale Quantisation: Use as an advanced arpeggiator with scale quantisation across 12 root keys and seven musical scales (Major, Minor, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Maj/Min Pentatonic) for effortless musical phrasing.

Full Automation Support: Timing shift, shuffle amount and core sequencer parameters can be readily automated inside a DAW arrangement for dynamic, evolving transitions.

Plug-ins & External Hardware Routing: Works seamlessly both with internal software plug-ins and external drum modules & synths thanks to flexible DAW MIDI routing.

Drag-and-Drop MIDI Export: Directly export created patterns into your DAW arrangement as MIDI clips, fully preserving dynamics, swing and timing offsets.

Scalable UI & Dual Themes: Vector-based high-contrast interface resizable from 50-400 % with dedicated Light and Dark visual modes.

Compatibility omniGRID is supported on PCs running Windows 10 or later, and Macs running macOS 10.13.6 and above. VST3, AU and AAX plug-in versions are available.

Pricing & Availability omniGRID is available now, priced at $79. A fully functional 45-day trial version is available for those who'd like to try the plug-in out.
