▶ Watch a flat patch come alive: the full Stride walkthrough
Works with the instruments you already own
Stride VST hosts only VST3 instruments and effects, loaded inside it: no VST2, no AU, no built-in devices, and it never reaches plugins outside Stride. On Ableton, StrideLink is the one that modulates your racks and native devices in place.
Your favorite synths.
Your trusted effects.
One variation is easy.
Twenty is the work.
Stride writes a fresh one across every mapped lane with every click. Lock what hits. Reroll the rest.
It doesn't replace any of it. It reveals more of what's already there.
Send the signal into Stride through your DAW, load the VST3 effects you already trust, and map the knobs you want moving. The chain keeps shifting while you play, with a fresh variation on every click.
An FX-only chain becomes a rig. You play the take, Stride moves every knob you mapped.
Amp sim into filter into delay, every mapped knob riding its own curve while you play. Reroll the motion until the take lands.
Draw a delay throw exactly where the phrase needs it, sweep a filter across the line, and reroll until the chain sings back. Lock what fits the performance.
Route your favorite synth or drum machine into Stride, then build the VST3 effects chain you have always wanted around it. Every mapped knob moves while you play.
Audio In is part of Stride VST, new in 1.2. You route audio in with standard DAW routing, and the effects chain is VST3, hosted inside Stride. Not Logic (AU) or Pro Tools (AAX).
In both editions
Map the knobs you want to move. One click writes a different evolving curve on every lane, up to 32 bars deep. Click again for a completely new take, as many times as it takes.
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
Less tweaking. More discovering. Roll the generators, mutate, reshape: a whole new set of curves on every click, no two ever the same.
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. New in 1.2: Keyswitch Mode puts the toolbox on one octave. Chaos on C, Mutate on F#. The notes stay silent, the tools fire: play them live, or record the triggers into a clip and every pass rolls a fresh take.
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.

Get Stride · $79 Explore free for 24hVST3 + Max for Live · not Logic (AU) or Pro Tools (AAX)
Separate licenses per edition, one price. Not Logic (AU) or Pro Tools (AAX). Third-party plugins shown are sold separately.
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.
The questions everyone asks
