Description
HY-SeqCollection2 is a MIDI step-sequencer plugin from HY-Plugins that creates and processes note patterns for another instrument in your DAW. Its permanent free edition centers on the Hexa sequencer, with one modulation unit and three MIDI effects for octave, transpose, and scale changes.
Hexa is the collection's probability-based engine, making it useful for turning a small programmed pattern into a changing melodic or rhythmic part. The limited edition is deliberately focused rather than a time-limited trial: the developer places its free download links alongside the paid full version and describes the full version's broader collection of six engines, four modulation generators, macro controls, and nine MIDI effects separately.
The plug-in's MIDI output is routed to a target instrument, so it suits basslines, arpeggios, generative hooks, and evolving electronic parts more than conventional audio processing. HY-Plugins includes DAW-specific setup guidance for Ableton, Bitwig, REAPER, Studio One, Cubase, Cakewalk, FL Studio, Tracktion, and Logic.
The developer currently provides direct Windows and macOS free-version downloads on the exact product page. That page lists VST2 and VST3 support on both platforms, adds AUv3 on macOS for Logic-compatible hosts, and identifies the current operating-system requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the HY-SeqCollection2 free edition?
The free edition includes one sequencer mode, Hexa, one modulation unit, and three MIDI effects: Octave, Transpose, and Scaler. HY-Plugins presents it as a cut-down edition rather than a demo with timed fade-outs or disabled project-state saving.
What does the Hexa sequencer do?
HY-Plugins identifies Hexa as the probability-based sequencer in the collection. That makes it suitable for patterns that introduce controlled variation instead of repeating every step identically.
How do I hear HY-SeqCollection2 in a project?
Load it as a MIDI-generating plug-in and route its MIDI output to a target instrument. The official page gives host-specific routing steps for common DAWs, including track-monitoring setup where required.
Can I use the macOS AU version in any host?
The developer says the AUv3 build is for hosts that support AUv3, such as Logic. It also notes that the plug-in does not work with GarageBand or Propellerhead Reason.
