Description

this is a simple, lightweight midi effect which steps through a sequence of up to 16 notes upon receiving a midi note, much like triggering the sequencer steps of an sh-101 with drum machine trigger signals.

it's inspired by the great "Sequential Event Generator" by MatthewJames but i wanted a smaller and simpler device, tailored to my needs. for example it takes velocity and note length from the midi input, not from the sequencer, which i find much more useful and expressive.

MANUAL:

[Record] -> notes can either be drawn in with the mouse or, when the record button on the left is active, recorded from your keyboard, a midi clip or any other midi source you route into it. when the record button is deactivated, the new loop length will be automatically set according to the number of recorded notes.

[Fold] -> the fold button acts like the fold button in abletons midiclips, only displaying the notes that are actually used.

[Trans] - with the transpose button activated, notes from the stepper will be transposed according to the notes from the midi input for even more interesting melodies.

Scale Menu - every time a note is drawn in, recorded or edited via the edit functions on the bottom the chosen scale will be applied afterwards.

[All]/[Loop] - this button determines whether all notes in the stepper are affected by the following functions or only those inside the loop range

(Up)(Left)(Right)(Down) - notes are shifted in the arrows directions

(Scramble) - scrambles the order of the sequence while keeping the notes

(Sort Up) - sorts the sequence ascending from the lowest to highest note

(Sort Down) - sorts the sequence descending from highest to lowest note

(Random) - completely randomizes the sequence inside the displayed note range
