{"product_id":"audiomodern-riffer","title":"Audiomodern - Riffer 4","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRiffer 4 is Audiomodern's MIDI riff generator plugin for Mac and Windows, rebuilt around five generation engines for melodies, hooks, basslines, arpeggios and sequences, for producers who want a usable musical idea from a blank bar in seconds.\u003c\/strong\u003e Released in October 2026, it's the fourth version of a plugin that's been around for a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFive engines instead of one randomiser\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarlier versions of Riffer had a single generator. Riffer 4 splits the job across five engines, each tuned for a different kind of part: hypnotic sequences, hooks, guitar-style patterns, animated arpeggios and basslines with some weight. You pick a key and scale, choose an engine, generate, and then shape the result with controls for note range, density, timing and feel. Every note can be edited directly, and you can spin off variations of a riff you like rather than rolling the dice again from scratch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it sounds in a track\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause Riffer only outputs MIDI, the sound is whatever synth you point it at. On a plucky mono synth the sequence and arpeggio engines give you rolling, Berlin-school-ish lines almost immediately, and the bass engine produces parts that leave room for the kick rather than filling every sixteenth. The hook engine is where you'll do the most regenerating, as memorable melodies are harder to luck into, but the density and range controls help pull a busy idea back into something singable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInto your DAW\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce a riff works, drag the MIDI out and carry on in your DAW. That's the intended workflow: Riffer is a starting point, not a full arranger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eElectronic producers, and anyone who writes better reacting to an idea than staring at a piano roll. If you already own an older Riffer, the five-engine split is the real reason to move up. If you want strict music-theory tools or chord progressions, this isn't that plugin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive generation engines: sequences, hooks, guitar-style patterns, arpeggios and basslines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork in any key and scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl note range, density, timing and feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdit every generated note directly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate and develop variations of a riff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombine and reshape generated ideas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrag and export MIDI to your DAW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSystem requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersion: 4.0.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMac: macOS 10.14 or later, Apple Silicon supported\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindows: Windows 10 or later (64-bit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormats: VST3, AU, AAX, standalone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLicence: perpetual, up to three activations, internet connection needed to activate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSOUND7 is an authorised Audiomodern reseller.
