Description

hello,

here my new device, stepper.

Stepper is a mix between a step sequencer and a LFO that you can automatize any parameters in live.

You can on each steps set different wave forms. max 16 steps.

Define speed for step, number of steps, depth and offset, you can define also if stepper play in loop or one shoot. if the button "R" is set to ON, stepper restart to step 1 with incoming midi note or restart sequencer if it's in mode one shoot. Otherwise it continu infinitly.

ps: for unmap, click on and off the button "map"

1.1 the depth is bipolar now.

    awesome. these are my favorite type of device: clean, clear, design...simple and powerful ;]
    Thanks sooo much for your work, dric!

    Looks like a great device but I guess I won't be able to try it. It would be nice if you offered a way to download for users that choose not use Facebook. I understand what you are trying to do but there are an increasing amount of people who choose not to use Facebook.

    7.3.1 fixed the problem

    Really good work dude! It's perfect for use on midi tracks. But if I want to map it to a parameter on an audio track it's not as fast and intuitive to work with cause you have to switch tracks constantly.
    Have you thought about making it available as an .adv (audio effect) as well? Obviously the note in reset wouldn't work, but that could be scratched. I honestly don't program in Max myself, so I can't even tell if it is possible. But if it is - damn I would love to have this device as an adv too! :)
    All the best from Denmark

    Thanks for comment, yeah it's possible. Now i've many things to do and i've not time for max, but when i've time i make one for audio track. No problem for reset, i can replace the note in by a button. Is less easy to use but Despite all with automation it can be cool.
  • EsbenA · December 17 2016
    Great man! I'll be looking forward to that! :)

    For the steps with ascending or descending curves it would be nice to be able to set both start and end values other than zero, for each step. Anyway it is an excellent job. Congratulations!

    Great device, really love the all the difrerent types of steps, especially the "double time ones". Would be great to have this as an audio device, so it easily can be used for parameters on audio tracks. Cheers from Denmark.

    When you duplicate or group or move 2nd stepper around it gets out of sync with the first one. How to get the 2nd on track / in sync with the first one?
    Also, stepper seems to run continuously. Wouldn't it make more sense to reset the start point with the starting play of the project? Or have it as an option.
    Great idea for a device, just needs to grow. Seems the development has stopped. Unfortunate.

    Hey man, just to let you know this device is fckin awesome. Cheers for creating it.
  • jaywoquako · March 06 2023
    Gotta say also - dk if you're still updating this but it would be super cool to have a 'Smooth' function whereby shapes that start or end with a peak can have a slight attack or release. This would avoid audio pops if mapped to volume for instance. Again, it's fantastic as is, but it cool be a cool feature :)
