Orbita

About

Orbita is a synth plugin by AudioThing. Users distribute beats across eight sample tracks on a circular sequencer, and each track can run its own rhythmic cycle. Users can load their own samples and set each track's number of steps and hits. The Reset parameter sets the number of beats after which the sequencer restarts from the beginning.

What it sounds like

Accents make certain hits louder within a pattern, and Swing shifts the timing feel. Each sample has its own filter with LowPass, HighPass, BandPass and Notch modes, in 2 pole and 4 pole versions.
