Description
Wanted to design and patch a drum machine myself, so I did and thought I would share.
The focus was on random beat generation but implement enough control to prevent total chaos.
The first section is easy enough.
seq triggers: activate and play a sequence.
seq edit: edit and prepare another sequence while another is playing.
Each sequence can store it's own set of randomization parameters and/or static sequences.
By default, each "channel" is set to target the first default 8 cells of a drum rack starting from C1.
Ran out of room for text to describe what each button/toggle/numbox/menu is for so I put together the following legend:
