TopTenREVIEWS - Bronze Award - Awarded for excellence in design, useability and feature set
By David Aamodt

"TopTenREVIEWS Bronze Award" winner Numerology is an up-and-comer "modular music sequencing and audio plugin environment." Designed for Mac OS X, Numerology combines traditional sequencing and composition features, including detailed chord data, with modular methodologies. This combination provides for a compositional palette that is both highly-organized and flexible enough to allow for improvisation and novel creation.

Numerology takes a unique approach to MIDI software. The developers looked back to the origins of MIDI production to the disco graveyards of the '70's where CV sequencers developed and evolved, while also moving purposefully toward the future. While the retrospective touches might seem to be a step backwards, Numerology's tools, features, interface and overall performance and functionality prove that the only direction it has ever moved is forward. In fact, Numerology seems to have already advanced a few strides ahead of nearly all other MIDI-focused audio production software programs, PC or Mac.

However, for those that want to take the more-traveled MIDI and audio sequencing route, Numerology features several other sequencer types, including notation, matrix, polyphonic, monophonic and others, giving users unrivaled diversity of approach.

Numerology has garnered a great deal of interest for its MIDI modules, for good reason. Several modules can generate and perform MIDI messages directly from designated CV sources, even rendering detailed and complex effects such as pitch bend, program changes and others. Another Numerology MIDI module can then process and filter the MIDI messages, assuring that they are performed with clarity and accuracy. A handful of other MIDI modules are available with more specialized functions, such as the NoteProcessor and scale quantizer, which are designed to maintain and refine melodies in both pitch and tempo.
