Advanced Step Sequencer
A monophonic midi step sequencer.
On the surface it’s reasonably standard. It’s a grid based sequencer - notes, gate, tie, velocity and two control changes. What’s unique about it is that you can set different loop points for each of those elements, which allows for anything from simple 303-style basslines to endlessly evolving, rotating, mutating melody lines.
The other unique thing about this is that it’s designed to work solely within musical scales. The sequencer ‘grid’ adapts itself to whatever scale you choose. Choose a chromatic scale, and you get a full 12 steps to play with, but choose a pentatonic scale and the grid automatically adapts itself to show only 5 rows. You don’t need to know any music theory to get great results.
Add to all that a bunch of useful randomisation options and it becomes a really useful tool.
Top tip - Rack these up and put several each in their own chain for mad polyphonic polyrhythmic sequences.
You can grab it here and there's a video of it in action here.
Thanks, beautiful. .
