Redux

What Redux is

Redux is a sample-based instrument with a phrase sequencer and MIDI implementation, offered as a plugin rather than a standalone app. Its tracker notation lets users trigger notes and control sample playback precisely, while the sequencer builds phrases from notes and program-change events. Redux can send MIDI note events to a host so its tracker interface can trigger DAW instruments. It includes DSP effects and a quasi-modular setup in which devices can modulate each other. The waveform editor can change volume, trim silence, apply effects, and slice samples, with edits saved in the preset. Users can record or draw samples, drag and drop imports, and work with common audio formats including SFZ multisamples. Eight global macros can link to multiple parameters and functions, while sections can save and recall presets. Content libraries add effects, samples, and phrases by drag and drop. Redux runs in DAWs that support VST3 or Audio Unit, and downloads are listed for Linux, macOS, and Windows. The demo is otherwise fully functional but adds a subtle hiss. A Redux license costs $5,600, paid once and covers versions 1.4.4 through 2.4.4.
