SEQUINS Words is an inspiring text-to-MIDI tool that turns a simple phrase into playable musical ideas quickly, which is great for getting out of repetitive writing habits. The mapping is musical (letters/syllables/word shape influencing pitch, rhythm, and velocity), and the probability/randomization controls help patterns develop naturally over time. It also integrates smoothly into a DAW workflow via Ableton Link and its virtual MIDI output, making it a practical, repeatable source of fresh starting points. WOW. 10/10

I often find myself playing the same old chords and melodies. Again and again. Words has really helped me break free from these patterns and come up with some genuinely surprising sequences I would never have programmed or played in myself. Nifty bit of kit this.

I know what you mean! While I do love my fingers and their clearly never-ending desire to play a phat Dminor9 chord to an Fmaj7 chord, it's nice to also... you know... NOT do that. Cheers Mark :)

So simple, so powerful, hacks the human ability to graft meaning onto absolutely anything to give you a reason to like your own music! I use it to sequence voices in VCV rack,so I can focus on sound design there, and to trigger my hardware drum machines and synths. All in key is insanely useful.

Appreciate this Harry! I have yet to use Words with VCV rack but that sounds like an awesome idea. I'll be releasing a VST version in the next couple of months that you'll get access to as a gift for being an early adopter :)
