Mario Nieto World releases Novagrid Modulation Sequencer for macOS and Windows (VST3 & AU)

By sampler  On  

Mario Nieto World has released Novagrid, a four-lane sequencer that modulates your audio live, turning any signal into evolving rhythmic movement.

Sequence. Modulate. Link. Reorder. Novagrid turns four lanes into a living ecosystem where the flow dictates the outcome.

Tweak, shape, and personalize Novagrid. Create your own skins, save them, share them, make them yours.

Feature Highlights

  • Four Independent Effect Lanes: Process audio through Volume, Pan, Filter (14 types) and Bitcrusher — each lane runs its own sequencer and controls.
  • Audio In Rhythmic Reshaping: NovaGrid doesn’t generate sound — it takes incoming audio and reshapes it rhythmically in real time.
  • Reorderable Modulation Chain: Drag & drop lane tabs to change the processing order (left to right) and drastically alter the result.
  • Per-Lane Step Sequencer: Each lane has its own step count, speed/division, direction and step range — fully independent by default.
  • Link Lanes (Smart Linking): Manual edits mirror across linked lanes, while randomization generates independent variations per lane.
  • Groove Controls: Swing, Gate and Smooth let you go from tight choppy modulation to fluid, evolving motion.
  • Powerful Editor Tools: Draw sequences with curves and shapes (line, ease, sine, triangle, exp, smoothstep, etc.) or free-paint values.
  • Grid Repeat Editing: Enable the grid to repeat your editor shape across the sequence with adjustable “grid steps”.
  • Randomization Systems: Use local dice, Random Sequence, Complexity, and Shuffle (with block size) for fast controlled chaos.
  • Global Random Engine (Per-Parameter): Right-click a dice to include/exclude it from Global Random — dots indicate what will be affected.
  • Locks for Total Control: Lock parameters, lock the sequence, or lock the whole lane to protect key values from presets and randomization.
  • Presets & Browser Workflow: Save presets with name/author/description. Browse, search, favorite, import/export, and drag & drop presets or folders.
  • Look Editor (Cross-Compatible Themes): Customize colors and export/import .mnLook themes — compatible with Harmony Bloom and Chord Generator.
  • MIDI Learn: Assign MIDI CC to most controls (and even lane selection) for hands-on performance and tweaking.
  • Standalone & Plugin Ready: Standalone includes audio/MIDI device settings; plugin version relies on your DAW routing — same core workflow.

Pricing & Availability

Novagrid is available now for €19 in VST3, AU, and Standalone formats for macOS and Windows.
