Available on its own or as part of the Waymaker bundle, Waymaker was a finalist for KVR's 2025 Readers' Choice award for "Most Innovative". Waymaker offers 16 sequencers and sequencing utilities:

Step: A simple step sequencer of variable length
Morph: A morphing step sequencer which can automatically shift pitches on a defined schedule
Weight: A random sequencer with a set of pitches and a chance that each will occur
Sum: A compounding sequencer in which pitches flip on and off asynchronously and add up to a single output
Brownian: A random melody based on Brownian motion, in which each step has a chance to ascend or descend from the previous pitch
Arpeggiator: Turn chords into custom arpeggios
Shift: A utility for repitching the loopers of Weeping Wall and Ridgewalk independently
MIDI: A utility for passing MIDI notes from Waymaker to Weeping Wall or Ridgewalk, allowing for their loopers to be repitched by the keyboard or with another sequencer
Beat: A pitchless sequencer for creating custom rhythms to clock or reset other sequencers or rearrange the timing of incoming MIDI notes
Probability: A utility for introducing random skips and unpredictability
Chord: A utility for adding harmonies to each incoming note
Pitch: Modify the pitch of notes performatively
Velocity: Animate sequences with random or algorithmic options
Timing: Add swing or humanizing rhythms
Control: Generate CC or PC messages
Channels: A utility for distributing notes to a variety of MIDI channels, on a regular, random, or cascading basis

Available on iOS too!

An amazing way of exploring musical patterns

I found it especially effective for breaking out of familiar habits and discovering rhythmic and melodic ideas I would not have created on my own.

One of a kind

I've tried several sequencers before and was always disappointed, but not this time. Waymaker is truly different and delivers great results.

Excellent GUI - ease of use is excellent

This plugin is a fantastic sequencer in its own right - it's easy to use for a sequencer and it looks as if it will pair well with any other sequences such as Stepic.

Waymaker can be used in two different modes:

In MIDI mode, each sequencer can be used to generate new MIDI notes, transpose the pitch of incoming MIDI notes, or trigger new sequences based on incoming notes. Waymaker can be used as a standalone MIDI sequencer or as a MIDI effect for modifying the output of your favorite sequencers.
In AAS mode, Waymaker can use any of the sequencers to change the pitch of each channel in products like Weeping Wall or Ridgewalk independently. In addition, Waymaker can provide additional control to these products—such as pitch glide and independent reversal of loopers—that is not available normally. Together, you can craft a totally custom audio effect, whether you want a unique looper, granulator, delay, or reverb.

Waymaker has full preset control and can manage presets for other Aqeel Aadam Sound devices in AAS mode.

Feel free to get in touch!

Can I trial this product before buying? Yes, please see the trial listing for this product. There is a one week free trial for Waymaker, which offers all functionality.
How do I use Waymaker with Weeping Wall and Ridgewalk? Please note that there is a minimum version requirement for Waymaker to be used with other Aqeel Aadam Sound products. Weeping Wall: v1.5.0, Ridgewalk: v.1.10. The version number can be found in the respective product’s settings menu.
Why don't I see the AU in Ableton (macOS)? Ableton does not support MIDI plug-ins as AU format, unfortunately. It is a limitation of the DAW. Instead, please use the VST3 version.
Does Waymaker work in Pro Tools? Yes, though support for MIDI FX plug-ins in Pro Tools is relatively recent. Accordingly, Waymaker will only work in Pro Tools version 2024.3 and beyond.
Is there a CLAP version? A CLAP version is in development, though needs some extra time to bake after the main release.
What are the system requirements? Mac: Version 10.13 or later, 64-bit. Intel and M1/M2 chips. Windows: Windows 10 or later, 64-bit.
Does Waymaker require an internet connection? Waymaker will require an internet connection for initial license validation, or starting a free trial. Afterwards, this will not be necessary.
