Description

A little sequencer to create odd midi patterns by twisting 8 knobs. It uses the Euclidean/Bjorklund algorithm to get interesting results.

(There are actually 7 knobs and 1 button, but since i map the button to a knob too...)

Just load the device in front of an instrument or a drum rack, hit play and start adjusting the pattern. If you set Duration to lowest value the notes get streched until the next note is triggered.

If you got a pattern you want to keep for later use, make sure you record it to a midi clip (note values get randomized when loading the device).

Drop me a line if you find any problems.

Version history:

************

v2.3

- set Note Range minimum to 1

- updated color scheme

v2.2

- fixed: when using more then one instances of 8KnobSeq in the same set the devices would interfere with each other

v2.1

- added box to adjust note range

- renamend Duration "0" to "Stretch"

- changed Loop start and Loop lengh short name

- removed "Fold" from presentation

v2.0

- added "Loop lengh" functionality (when you move "Loop start" the loop end point is now automatically adjusted based on "Loop lengh")

- added some math (thanks to Luke Hall) to determine after how many bars the first step of the loop will hit the first step of the bar again (I'm not sure if it is always accurate, if you have improvments on this, feedback would be highly appreciated!)

- fixed a crash which could occur when "Loop start" was set to a higher value than "Steps"

- renamed "Loop left" to "Loop start"

- removed 32nd/32n/32nt from Pulse menu since live.step can't handle it

v1.2

- new knob order

- automapindex is now set to the new order

- removed pulse pull down

v1.1

- replaced [zl.group] by [zl group] for compatibility reason

v1.0

- initial release
