Description

sidewinder is a step sequencer with a few serpentine tendencies.

Step through the sequence linearly (Counter), randomly (Random and Random Other), or mischievously (Ramp).

Form longer, flowing sequences using the transpose functionality, which transposes across 4 intervals for 4 repetitions each.

~ change log ~

1.1 adds persistence of sequence / device when reopening the same Live session

Click "drone" to add an overlaid note that sketches out the arc of the transpositions.

Was quite sad that a very pleasing sidewinder sequence was not apparently retained when I saved the set.
Does it have to be saved to a preset to do that?

Thanks for letting me know! Just released version 1.1 which should fix this issue. Let me know if you're still having any trouble after downloading the new version!
Saving a preset (.adv file) will definitely ensure you can get back to the same device state.

Yes, that fixes it, thanks.
Very nice device.
