Create Expressive Musical Sequences From MIDI Chords With This Unique Phrase Arpeggiator
Turn simple chord sequences into expressive melody lines and musical phrases. Simply design your phrase in the piano roll, and “Phrasebox” will playback the pattern using whatever notes you input.
You have complete control over how the phrase is played. Select notes in pitch order, or use the special selectors – such as the loudest/quietest or first-played/last-played. Your phrase will be played back with sample accurate timing.
Important Note: Due to MIDI routing limitation, Phrasebox is NOT compatible with Reason, Machine or VST3. Please download the DEMO VERSION to test whether your DAW is compatible.

Design Your Own Phrases Or Easily Generate Unlimited Unique Ones
Phrasebox In Detail
Phrasebox is a phrase arpeggiator that gives you control over the playback like never before. With its DAW-like piano roll, you can create expressive, layered melodies that aren’t limited in timing and length compared to traditional step arpeggiators.
The notes of the piano roll correspond to the pitch order of notes, with “special” notes (like the loudest or quietest notes played), which let you control exactly which notes you want to play.
It also features a lock to key option so your transposed notes are never out of key, and the included controller window lets you also send MIDI CC data out to your instruments.
Phrasebox also features generation options, so you can generate unlimited unique phrases at the click of a button.
DAW-Like Control
Phrasebox isn’t like traditional step sequencers or arpeggiators – you have full control over the timing and length of notes as you would in your DAW. Alongside velocity controls, you can also adjust each note’s transposition, and even select a random chance that the note will play.
If your transpositions end up falling between the notes of a scale, you can enable the “Lock To Key” feature to make sure your riffs are always in tune.
Controller Editing
Alongside note patterns, you can also send MIDI controller data. With up to 8 assignable controllers, you can design everything from piano parts using the hold pedal, to automated synth filters and pitch bends to make the perfect melody line.
Generation
If you want quick access to an unlimited number of phrases, you can use the built-in generation tools to quickly get inspiration. Simply set how you want the notes and controller data to be generated, and Phrasebox will create a unique phrase pattern with just the click of a button.

Fabian – :
Highly recommended Phrase Arpeggiator! It turns your chords into great melodies, arpeggios etc.
And with the scale function you can have it always stay in key.
Reed – :
This is a very cool tool to inspire your creativity. There’s so much packed into the Phrasebox. You have some nice presets to choose from to get you started and then you can adjust from there adding melody and bass lines. You can also randomize velocity, transpositions and octaves locking them all to a specific key, if desired. There’s a nice generation tool with a bunch of options to automatically generate phrases. Once you find something you like you can copy and paste the phrase 11 more times and adjust from there. Phrases can be triggered using key switches. That’s a great way to add forward momentum to a track without breaking much of a sweat.
Since the Phrasebox doesn’t make any of its own sounds, you simply pipe out the midi to one or more instruments of your choice. If the instruments play within their specific ranges you can create some great music that varies across the selected instruments.
No tool is a replacement for your own creative juices. However, it is very helpful to find a tool like Phrasebox to inspire, experiment and play with to add uniqueness and to your tracks. I highly recommend this tool.
Based on other reviews I read, the developer is supposed to be very proactive and reactive to users’ needs. They are continually adding new functionality
Muharrem – :
A simple chord is enough and You get inspiration immediately.
Sometimes such plugins are very helpful if you can’t get any further.
Eric – :
Phrasebox has helped increase the musical interest in what would normally be a boring chord progression. I don’t use the randomizer as much as I thought but it’s a good way to introduce yourself to the different options.
