Description

DrumSeq is a simple 8 track 16 step sequencer for the Novation Launchpad.

Usage in Ableton Live:

Place it before a midi drum module.

The first Launchpad found will be automatically connected. Note: Press the reconnect button if it fails.

Select the note to play for each track. The default setting covers the main drum sound of a GM drum mapping.

Press Play in Live.

Fire a scene or a clip. DrumSeq will automatically create a 1 bar clip if it is an empty slot.

Usage on the Launchapd:

Switch to user 2 mode.

The upper 4 matrix button rows display the 8 first steps and the lower 4 rows the steps 9-16.

The green bar displays the current played step.

Press the up (learn) button to switch between track 1-4 and 5-8.

Press a matrix button to enable or disable the specific step on the track.

Press both the left and right button (page) to cleear the current pattern.

Use the upper 4 buttons on the right to mute the specific track.

Use the lower 4 buttons on the right to create random notes on the specific track.

Notes:

If the time signature is set to 4/4 the 16 steps are 1 bar. You can also use time signatures which lead to less steps (e.g. 3/4 will be 12 steps) but not time signatures like 5/4.

If you make changes in the clip the changes are not reflected on the Launchpad because the notes buffered separately for faster update. Switch to another clip and then back to fix the issue.
