Fold Devices · Plugin · Free beta
Write a whole track in one plugin: samples on sixteen tracks, any parameter locked on any step, the whole jam morphed with one crossfader. Then record it into your DAW or play it live.
Support on Ko-fiOne plugin
Drums, bass, chords, loops, effects and the mix all live in one window. Sketch a full track in an evening, then record it into your DAW or play it live.
01
Sixteen tracks for drums, bass, chords and loops. Slice breaks, lock any parameter on any step, chain patterns into a song in the arranger.
02
Four effects on every track, two send buses and a master with a limiter. A trig-accurate sidechain, three LFOs per track and curves you draw yourself.
03
Perform with parts, scenes and mutes, live or in the standalone app. Or record the jam into your DAW with every track on its own output.
Try it
Pick a pattern and a Scene B, press Play, then drag the fader from Scene A to Scene B. Every track is moving at once.

Every sign-up, every bug report and every coffee genuinely moves it forward.

Hexamorph is a performance sampler that lives inside your DAW as a VST3 or AU instrument, or runs on its own as a standalone app. Each of its 16 tracks plays a sample, follows its own step sequence and runs through its own filter, envelopes, LFOs and four insert effects. Use it as a drum sampler with a step sequencer, as a slicer for breaks and loops, or as a whole groovebox for a live set.
Parameter locks
Right-click a step and turn any knob: that step now plays its own pitch, filter, slice, sample or effect setting. Locks are how a four-bar loop turns into something that never quite repeats.
Scenes · Crossfader
A scene is a set of parameter values. Put one scene on side A, another on side B, and the crossfader morphs dozens of parameters across all sixteen tracks in one move.
Sampler
Load a break, slice it to the grid or the transients, then play the slices from the sequencer or from locks. Stretch loops to tempo, repeat them, reverse them, or resample a track and chop that too.
Effects · Sidechain · LFO
Each track has four insert slots in series. Two send buses carry the shared reverb and delay, and the master has its own four slots and a limiter. Every effect parameter can be locked on a step, held by a scene or moved by an LFO.
Demo song
The demo project that ships with the beta, played in Hexamorph with no other plugins. Every change you hear is a pattern, a part or a scene sweep on the crossfader.

Guide
Per-step locks, trig conditions and scenes on a crossfader come from hardware grooveboxes, and they are the reason those boxes are so quick to write on. If you have only worked with clips and automation lanes, they take ten minutes to understand and change how you make patterns.

FAQ
A 16-track sampler and step sequencer plugin for macOS, Windows and Linux. It runs inside your DAW as a VST3 (or AU on macOS) instrument, or on its own as a standalone app, and works like a hardware groovebox: trigs, parameter locks, trig conditions, parts and scenes on a crossfader.
No. Hexamorph is its own instrument, with its own engine and interface. If you know parameter locks, scenes and machines from hardware samplers such as the Octatrack, you will feel at home. Octatrack is a trademark of Elektron; Fold Devices is not affiliated with Elektron.
AU, VST3 and standalone for macOS 11 or newer (Apple Silicon and Intel); VST3 and standalone for Windows 10/11 and Linux, 64-bit. It is an instrument plugin for any DAW that hosts AU or VST3, such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Bitwig Studio, Reaper or FL Studio.
Yes. 152 of each track's parameters, including the four insert effects and the three LFOs, can be locked on a step and held by a scene.
It follows the host's tempo and position, so moving the playhead in the DAW moves the sequencer too. Besides the main output there is a cue output and a stereo output for each of the 16 tracks.
The beta is free. The launch price will be announced before release, and people on the pre-order list get 20% off.
No. Your licence key is checked offline, so it works on stage without Wi‑Fi.
From inside the plugin: the Help menu has a bug report form that fills in your version and system for you.
