Iftah Sting is an algorithmic acid-line MIDI sequencer. Four engines (Algo, Arp, Bass, Counterpoint) share a 16-step grid. Counterpoint writes two melody lines, chords, and bass across four MIDI channels. Optional Novation Launchpad or monome control is built in.
The paid license is 35€ plus VAT. A free version stays available with seven downloads per day. Formats are VST3, AU, and CLAP on macOS 11+, Windows 10+, and Linux. Accessibility includes 15 color themes and direct screen-reader support.
Compared with Acid V it writes the line instead of playing it. Compared with Cthulhu or miniGRID it is an acid and counterpoint generator, not a chord toolbox or a generic lane sequencer. Read the Sting first look.
