What is Zweeger

Zweeger is a modular extended MIDI filter and generator. It works as a standalone tool or as a VST effect. It can be placed between any MIDI input, such as keyboards, and any tool that can be controlled by MIDI messages (effects, samplers, hardware, software...) It can also work without any input as a "simple" generator.

Zweeger is composed of various elements, such as LFO, envelops, random curves, delays, note generators, ... All of them can be chained in various ways, synchronized on the tempo.

If you are fed up with drawing automation curves, turning knobs repeatedly or if you need a third hand, Zweeger is the tool you need.

Requirements

Zweeger is written in Java and can therefore run on any machine with a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Java 5.0 or higher installed. Although, it has not been tested on Mac OS and Linux. So if you encounter troubles running Java in these environments, let me know.

To download a valid JRE, check the java download page.

Usefull links

  • Maple virtual midi cables : if you intend to "MIDI-link" applications running on the same computer, you will probably need these virtual cables
  • Bome's Mouse Keyboard: a midi keyboard that you can play with your mouse and pc-keyboard.

Thanks

The VST and AU versions of Zweeger have been made possible thanks to jVSTwRapper, the java wrapper for developping VST application in java.
