Toneworks Catalyst is a VST/AU sequencing plugin for electronic music producers.
The plugin features a step sequencer, a harmonizer and and an arpeggiator that can be used individually or in combination. Catalyst also acts as a host for VST/AU synth plugins - a kind of "micro DAW" that plugs right into your favorite, full-size audio workstation.
Creating synth parts in Catalyst is a very different experience though - nothing like using the piano roll of traditional DAWs:
Catalyst helps you compose both classic and modern synth parts and opens up a whole new world of ideas that would be difficult to come up with in the piano roll of a traditional DAW. Since Catalyst will only produce notes and chords in the key you choose, it's also a great tool for produces that don't know much about music theory.

Intro Price: $49 until March 31, 2023 (Regular price: $79).

Creating synth parts in Catalyst is a very different experience though - nothing like using the piano roll of traditional DAWs:
- In Catalyst, melodic patterns are created in a step sequencer, which is a more immediate and natural way to compose for many electronic genres.
- Single notes can be fed into the Harmonizer and transformed into chords in your chosen key - anything from two-note power chords to super wide pad chords with complex voicings.
- Finally, chords can be routed to the arpeggiator and turned into sweeping melody lines using custom arpeggio patterns.
