Mac based PadKontrol step sequencer (sekwenser)

[fyolnish]

Hey everyone, long time lurker first time poster.

I just wrote a step sequencer for my new PadKontrol and thought I'd post a shameless plug on here
I tried the ableton template sequencers I could find and the max patch, but I couldn't get them to work the way I wanted to.
So yeah.. I wrote my own.

The way I'm using it is with Traktor&Ableton. Traktor handling the beat clock and live as a drum machine/sampler (the sequencer controls ableton)

This is still very much in development, so there are probably bugs.
It's also my first project to do with MIDI & MIDI Synchronization

Source and binary available from: http://github.com/aptiva/sekwenser
To build the source you need BWToolkit from http://brandonwalkin.com/bwtoolkit/

Please post any questions/feedback!

Thanks, fyonish, except... The URL you give for the binary appears to be a zip of the source files.

[fyolnish]

Ha! You're right.
Sorry about that, I've updated the post.

Hi fyolnish, i downloaded and tried your app, and i have to say THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUUUUUUUUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! It is everything I was looking for for a long time. It is really amazing, and so easy to use, unlike farmpad, which is also great but harder to set up an run.

Just a couple of things... I downloaded the source from github, build it, but my build did not succed. Some gcc 4.2 error.... Then I got another version from the post you posted at korgs forum, and that one did compile, but it had errors, couldn't change notes, channels... Finally I downloaded the package from github and tha worked perfectly... I am trying to learn Objective C, Xcode and the cocoa framework, so I have to ask... any ideas on why I failed to compile the source?

Sorry for being such a noob

But I really want to test it, but I am having troubles on how to set it up with ableton.

Im using the IAC bus to send the midi clock but nothing seems to happen.


Edit: Never mind problem solved

You probably forgot to install bwtoolkit before trying to compile

I didn't forget, but I might have done it wrong....

One more question... Is there a way to reset the group pattern sequence mode? Thanks in advance!

Well, if deleting all the steps counts, yes. To do that hold down the setting button while viewing the group sequence and tap the first pad till there are no more steps.

Great, thanks!
