Works with the instruments you already own
Stride VST hosts only VST3 instruments and effects — not VST2, AU, or built-in devices. StrideLink modulates any device on your Ableton rack.
Your favorite synths.
Your trusted effects.
Your sound.
Stride doesn't replace any of it.
It reveals what's already there.
In both editions
The same drawing engine powers both. One click writes dozens of unique automation curves across every parameter. Click again. And again. In under a minute you've got 32 bars of pure chaos.
One click. Every lane filled.
Stamps multi-layer wave noise onto every unlocked parameter. Smooth, organic, never the same twice.
Good for · dense evolving textures, ambient pads, slow-motion sound design.
Gnarly. Random. Musical.
Random shape chunks - dotted ramps, hard chops, hyper-stutters, syncopated drops - across every unlocked lane.
Good for · neuro & DnB bass, dubstep wobbles, aggressive design that locks to the grid.
Mirrored motion. Coherent set.
Pairs every two lanes - base plus a value-flipped mirror - so the sound folds in on itself. One click.
Good for · modulation in opposition: filter opens / resonance drops, drive up / volume down.
Polyrhythmic stepped motion.
Per-lane stepped-random staircase. Each lane rolls its own rate - straight and triplet, down to 1/32.
Good for · glitchy stepped textures, sequenced modulation, rhythmic motion without drawing a step.
Variations on demand
Roll through the generators, mutate, reshape. A whole new set of curves on every click, all unique and evolving.
Chaos, Neuro, Reflector, S&H - same sound, four totally different directions. Roll through them in seconds.
Hit a generator, hear it, roll again. Every pass writes fresh motion across the whole chain, no two the same.
Found a curve you love? Hit Mutate to reroll it, or Prism to spin siblings across every other lane, anchors locked.
Stride VST hosts your instruments and effects in series, inside itself. Map knobs from every device and modulate them together, in any DAW.
Every knob on every device is fair game. Draw one curve on the filter, another on the delay feedback, another on the drive - all moving together, in time.
Stride VST modulates the VST3 instruments and effects you load inside it, and nothing else. It can't reach your DAW's native devices, VST2, AU, or plugins sitting next to it on the track. That's the plug-in format's rule, not ours. Need to modulate Ableton's own devices in place? That's StrideLink, below.

Separate licenses per edition, one price. Not Logic (AU) or Pro Tools (AAX).
StrideLink talks straight to Ableton through Max for Live, so it reaches your racks and native devices, and writes the motion right into your clip. Click any button on the device to see exactly what it does.
Not just your instrument racks - StrideLink modulates Ableton's own devices anywhere in the set, in place. No hosting required.
The motion is written into your clip's automation, so it lives with the song. Duplicate a clip, inject a fresh curve set, repeat - six variations in a minute.
StrideLink is a Max for Live device. It needs Ableton Live 11+ (Suite, or Standard with the Max for Live add-on) and doesn't run anywhere else.
StrideLink is included with Stride — $79 for both editions.
