    Nice one! I've had some glitching, and I guess some people will have a hard time with not being able to save oatterns and key assignments, etc. Those would be some really great improvements to a future version. Also an Explanation of how Glitchy Skip Jump work would help users get more out of them. Great device, though! Love it!

    Don't know whats happening but making some filthy sounds with this. love it!

    This is brilliant! I just threw it in front of one of Live’s 909 kits and BAM! Instant Aphex Twin!

    Loving this. Would be very cool to have it recognise the populated cells in a drum rack if possible.

    I generally like the output of this patch. Good job.
    My main criticism would be the patch itself. Cleaning up the code would really be a good thing, it's one of the messiest patches I've seen in a long while - including just, unconnected objects just hanging out, lol.
    ty for sharing! It's pretty useful.

    Everything is great EXCEPT:
    There is a 16th note delay for the playback to start, and it seems that I can't simply arrange the notes a 16th note late to fix it either. Can't really explain why, but the sync of the device seems to be a bit off.
    Other than that, I'm loving the sounds I'm getting out of this thing. Minimal effort and complex results: )

    @IHateCaviar I think I fixed the issue. Hopefully it will work better for you now.

    Thank you, Graham. Looking forward to giving 1.6 a spin (I hope save works!)
    Amazing with any drum machine, but if any of you can get your hands on an 01/IV Drum synth from Division Department, it's next level!

    We can't set the tempo yet right? 1/4, 1/16th... and so on. this option would be very great to have.
    And maybe more lanes?

    This is real neat. Thanks for the free IDM drum sequencing MIDI effect device.
