so me and my mate were jamming the other day. i thought how good it would be to have a step sequencer dedicated to my nord lead. i was using my esx to sequence it, synced to his machine drum. but i would like to make one in a modular program such as reaktor or max msp. with dedicated knobs for cut off on each channel, multiple sequences on four midi channels and even stuff like reverse and that.
anyone got any thoughts, built one already?
thanks in advance ! | |

please let me know if/when you go off the modular sequencer deep end, cuz i want to bounce ideas off in a non-environment dependent way. ricemutt and I talk back and forth about this stuff. basically, reaktor, max, G2, and some other things are all pretty much equivalent, just different styles. it doesn't change the basic ideas, tho."
i use bidule some and have thought about trying to create some sort of crazy sequencer using it that i could control from my bcr2000 (its got buttons with leds and led status rings around endless encoders).
modular sequencing sounds intriguing to me, but i don't understand what you are saying at least half of the time. when you post a blog talking about getting a dog to take a dump, that i understand, the rest is jibba jabba.
what is modular sequencing? in a non-environment explanation please.

i dont know really what modular sequencing is...
but i call what i do sometimes modular sequencing. or stuff on the boundary of modular sequencing and algorithms. what it means for me is sequencers with movable parts, maybe where the shape generation is different from the pacing arrangment, and then that's different from the quantization. imagine it this way:
1. four different lfos-those are the shapes
2. those lfos are being chosen in meter-that's the pacing
3. that output (monophonic) is being sampled at another set of lfos intervals, which is also being sequenced
4. the quantization is also being sequenced separately
the modularity comes into play because each of those parts could be changed with something else.
that's a decent description of a patch i made a few months ago.

so i have built my sequencer using off the shelf modules in reaktor.
however when i turn steps in the bass sequencer the timing changes for the whole clock.
ideas?

quip, I found that if you want everything to remain in sync in reaktor, you need to use the song position module, because everything else is kinda just relative, with the sync pulses, but the song position tells you exactly where you are with the master midi clockamajig or whatever.
