Poly Orbits

Poly Orbits (VST3, CLAP, AUv2)

Poly Orbits is a MIDI arpeggiator built around a simplified orbital physics system, where held notes become bodies moving through gravity, radius, eccentricity, drag, turbulence, and mutual pull.

Instead of repeating a chord as a fixed up/down pattern, Poly Orbits lets each note follow its own orbit. Notes trigger as they cross an alignment point, so rhythm comes from motion: wider orbits feel slower, tighter orbits move faster, eccentric paths create uneven pulses, and coupled gravity can make several notes push and pull against each other.

The result is an arpeggiator for patterns that feel played by a system rather than drawn on a grid. It works well for evolving synth lines, orbiting chord tones, irregular bass motion, generative melodic figures, and controlled rhythmic accidents. Quantize can lock the motion into useful divisions, while the random button can quickly create dense gravitational relationships that would be slow to program by hand.

The interface shows the same model visually: active notes orbit around a central body, with trails, tilt, glow, and per-note motion changing as the MIDI pattern changes.
