Hi all! I wish create a drum pattern/sequencer for a VST. Where to start? Will be cool to create a pattern with more than 4/4 beats... For example 16/4. So will be cool for creating rolls and to use them with a velocity controller... Did can someone give me some stuff or some info for working on?

Good idea! It seems you should learn deep MIDI messages and SysEx mechanism; it much more flexible than Midi Note primitives.

By the way, in "Mad metronome" i use text-based pattern for sequence of sounds. What if you include in sequencer possibility for input patterns in "|-\-.." , "D-T-K-.." or another text-like notation? 😉

CoreStyler do a search on sequencer, arp and drum. Play with the examples that you find. Then decide if it will be sample based or not. If its sample based that you want look at this file Multi-Sampler at the Wiki. [old link] Build a small simplified single channel idea of what you want. At that point you will probably have questions. Come back, post your .osm file and ask away. 😉

Not just samples based. I wish that can run with wavetable oscillators! 😉 i'll do a search then try to make a this kind of pattern sequencer.. When i got some i will post the osm. 😍

I have built 2 sequencers. One polyphonic MIDI, accurate to 8 samples(it is clocked by the modular DAW Usine), and a one monophonic stream based. Both started from the step LFO in the default toolbox, take a look there too if ya wanna. The first mod u need to is change the timing from reading a ramp into a stream counter. Hmm man, would u like my sequencer .osms? I can pm them to you 8D Cheers

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
