Triggering Livestep with midi notes

Post by uberdrums » Wed May 09, 2012 4:36 pm

Hey there,

I have built a very basic sequencer. All is working well but I want to trigger the sequencer in the same way that the monomodular stuff does, and there is a sequencer by Prebentious that also triggers via midi notes.
When I open these up to edit, they don't use livestep in the same way I am. (or not at all in the case of monomodular)
I have tried copying various bits over in a feeble attempt to get it going.... but no such luck so far.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

so what you're saying is that you have livestep up and running, but you want it triggered by midi notes?

I feel like you should just build a midi note input system yourself, really.

Notein, stripnote, select
mbp 2.66, osx 10.6.8, 8GB ram.

Thanks for the reply - I was starting to loose hope!

I have been trying to build it myself. I wouldn't just post on here without trying first. I'm pretty sure I tried Notein>stripnote but it didn't seem to run. All my other attempts at midi note triggering have been sucessful, so I think my issue is with live.step.
I think it might have something to do with all the other stuff I have going on, as its a mutant of several patches. It's currently driven by metro which might be nessasary for clock divisions.
So far it runs like a charm, but I feel I could get a lot more out of my 8 steps if I could control the stepping in more ways.

I will try again on your advice, but I will post some code if anyone cares to help(?)
