Button Based Step Sequncer

[Antiform]

I want to use M4L to make something operate like the Reason ReDrum to control the Ableton Drum Rack:




As it is controlling the Drum Rack (or any Midi Instrument) it can just be a Midi Effect and there is no point having a full channel strip like the ReDrum has. So maybe just a note selection per channel as well as the patterns per channel. So something like this sort of thing is what I had in mind:





Would I need a custom object to be the sequencer to be able to do this?

[prebentious]

It looks doable for sure. It might be tricky to get the color coded velocity squares for the sequence, though. Maybe you could try something like this instead?

Few things are truly tricky in MfL ;)

You're clearly making an infinite loop, this ain't gonna be pretty ;-)
