1.8 Update, fixed backwards compatibility with pre array max versions
1.7 update: fixed an issue where changing offset would affect multiple instances, improved density algorithm
1.6 update: added Push 3 support
1.51 update: fixed a bug where changing tracks will still generate midi clips on the previous track
1.5 update: added accent and clip generation.
clicking on "clip" will create a midi clip with the current sequence. this works in session mode only, also please note that this feature requires live 11.
1.04 update: minor bug fixes.
1.03 update: Generated pattern will now save with the set / preset.
i first came up with the idea for "sting" 10 years ago during a residency in reykjavik. it started like half a joke as in "can i program something that can generate acid lines" and turned out to be a great musical tool and super popular device. since then it saw several iterations that were made public, except of this last and concluding version which i was using on stage during the final years of skinnerbox.
"sting 2022" allows you to generate anything from atonal to acid lines and fluidly morph between them. you can also transpose the root note via midi, offset the sequence and do other neat things.
click on the smily face to generate a new sequence, use the “Density” dial to morph between 16 variations of the sequence, use the “Type” dial to morph between 16 tonal and a-tonal versions of the sequence, use the “Root” parameter to define the root of the scale or toggle “Midi” to define the root with incoming midi notes.
