hi,

I have been working on a very simple step sequencer (8x)

so far it features:

-8 adjustable knobs -adjustable time resolution (4/4, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32....synced to host tempo) -start/stop buttons -gate retrigger -a "led" light on each knob which lihgts up on time -"running" and "stopped" status -current position counter...

which other fetures am i missing ? Suggestions on how to add "destination" ??? currently i am using it to control a filter

no osm yet, I am working on a better definition and (possibly) selection between 8, 12,16, or even more steps....😉

and does it keep time well? my experients with SM based sequencing have jumped around when I turn dials, does this one stay in time with a host? Obviously we don't have host sync - but does a bar remain a fixed length? mine never did.

well...i think it's there if you use the TimeInfo Module...or not? I have tried it with cubase and everything seems to be in time...

timeinfo will give you the bpm, but it wont give you host start/stop, .. things like that. That's what I meant by in sync, it will be 'in-time' but not start at the same place.

well my experiments didn't anyway, and like I said - they were too jumpy to continue with. I look forward to trying your example.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    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.
