Straight in. Groove out.
A live, playable house groove-imprinter. Drag a step to nudge its timing and velocity, switch lanes, or pull a groove from the crate. Warm↔cold, mapped to the pocket — cold rushes the beat, warm drags behind.
The feel of a live take, on your stiff MIDI.
POCKET is a MIDI effect that sits before your instrument and imprints a real house groove onto dead-quantized notes. It listens ahead, then nudges every step — a hair early here, a touch late there — the push and pull that makes a machine feel like a hand.
It's not just timing. POCKET reshapes velocity step by step, drops low-velocity ghost notes on the 'and', and layers swing and shuffle on top — so a flat line gains dynamics, roll and character instead of sounding like a grid.
Everything comes from a curated crate of 18 original grooves across six house genres, each captured from a real feel. Dial the depth from dead-straight to deeply human, pick a character — Tight, Rolling or Loose — and drop it in front of any synth or sampler.
Straight → POCKET.
The same loop, the same notes — one quantized dead to the grid, one with the groove imprinted. Hit play and watch the notes move into the pocket.
STRAIGHT — every note quantized dead to the grid. Flip to POCKET and watch them move.
A crate of feels.
Eighteen original house grooves across six genres — each one a fingerprint of micro-timing, velocity and ghost notes. Flip the crate, drop one on, done.
One groove. Three characters.
Feel doesn’t swap the groove — it reshapes it. The same Deep House Roll, pulled tight, left rolling, or laid all the way back.
Crisp and reined-in — the groove pulled in toward the grid.
The classic rolling 16ths — the groove exactly as authored.
Laid-back and dusty — pushed a hair further behind the beat.
Before your instrument.
POCKET is a MIDI effect. Drop it in front of any synth or sampler — it grooves the notes on the way in, then hands clean, in-time MIDI to your sound.
