Here's my baby. Please don't be gentle with it. Push it as far as you can. Throw every test at it, and please report any bugs, as I'm trying for a commercial release with this thing. Also on the Osm is my new Standard X Series Automated Knob. I think I got it right now. Last ones were too big. There's also a simple Osc control system I came up with the other day, that's begging to be tweaked some more.

Had a quick go on my little netbook - it's a very interesting little plugin, I much prefer this kind of 'generative' sequencing where you have macro control, rather than infinite note-level tweaking - so that the 'rules' you make from the knobs still throw up nice surprises; much more fun than spending hours fiddling with step seq sliders. I'll try it out on my big machine later if I get the chance - it uses 90% CPU on my netbook, so the GUI and automation are rather sluggish. The SynthEdit style slide switches are a nice touch - I guess for consistency with the other plugins you have available - but it'll confuse the hell out of the anti-construction-kit snobs!!

Loving the idea One suggestion If you are going commercial with this then you might want to change the dials and switches The buying public are a fickle bunch and one hint of "stock SM" will also mean "Zero effort gone into this" Obviously that is very very very far from the case looking in the OSM

If you want help with dials or switches just give me a yell 😉

Yeh, I've updated the OSM. Sorry bout that. Got lazy.Kind of went underground for a few days. X1 Still has a few issues. I'm getting a flicker in the graphics every second time I move a knob. The biggest issue is it's failure to load in Abelton Live. All other hosts I've tried is good.

At the end of the day, X1 was a good experiment. I've already got X2 up to the preset stage. I've gone back to scratch, and built a very small synth, to try and troubleshoot where the run time issues are coming from. It's either the design of the Seq Channels or the time management system. Probably take me 6 months to a year to sort it all out. Hard to focus because all these methods i've used keep giving me more ideas.

PS> Still working on the "Pulse Bomb" . Don't take the design of it to seriously..
