First of all, thank you for taking the time to answer in great detail. It's the first time that I feel informed. I'm not insecure anymore. I will keep designing in green - for exactly the reason you pointed out. I know that much can be done so much easier using ruby and I'm sure to hop on the train when there is an even more sophisticated connection between FS and ruby. Meanwhile I'm glad that you took away my doubts about "green designing". (It almost feels like a relief :D )

I havn't initialized anything in the seqs, that might be it.
Switches and buttons in the fsm's were made quickly, and are not finished.
You've done well to replace them with your own...

That's where ruby wins for me big time...goodbye green :mrgreen:

Yeah, but maybe that's how ruby behaves with minimizing. I don't know...

Tried to add the 3\4 feature in it. It responds ok, but couldn't synchronize the timer to the beat. It has kind of small delay before it restarts the beat. another thing, couldn't find any string nor float outputs for saving the on-offs presets. Am I missing it?

Switches not finished. Save via array....check preset module in first seq.Will check fsm when I get home.

On second thought...what beat are you trying to sync to..?
Thats what I didnt like about a timer for each note with
the alt design...I think I got that wrong...
all notes are independent time frames...not needed..
I cant remember daw giving this control. .seems like
overkill...
I looked at this last night. Everthing needs to be
bussed into one timer, while retaining all individual
controls within the timer.
This is a nasty nasty job, that reqires some serious
looping skills. :lol:
I prepared the idea a bit last night by renaming all
the input arrays..so as to get a better idea of whats
required and how to go about it.
Will take me a long time to work it out...if I ever do..
Seq 1 is looking a little more user-friendly ATM.

OK, got the point. it seems as a real nasty job as we have to sum all the seqs to one timer that should probably have 16 step, note, duration,velocity and tempo inputs just to switch from 1\16 to 1\12... boy, that's exhausting :cry:

Will take me a long time to work it out...if I ever do..


Agreed. Lets stop here and enjoy a bit from what already achieved. Maybe other folks will find it interesting too and grant some help. Thanks for your effort buddy. 8-)

Its only I'm not looking at it the right way.
I'm breaking the job down...it's looking more possible...

No worries mate.

:lol: Shit man..i havn't even started yet....
I'll drop finished seqs in examples when there good enough..keep an eye out..
Thanks for all your input. :)

:lol: I meant to the 1 note seq, not the first one. Anyway, seem there is something to wait for in the horizon :)

Cheers!

hey, i have something for you which is maybe helpful here, it is a note sequence where you can set the notelength with the mouse, notes are created with doubleclick and deleted with rightclick, the length can be set with normal left drag.

notes are always created on a quantized grid (quantization is setable) and the lenght can be set free or also snapped to quantization..

it is just the basic drawing with the mouse actions, so no presets included yet and also no useful notearray output yet which could be generated from the noteAreas for example... it also is just for one note atm like yours is structured too

after i have not very much time atm to finish a complete sequencer i thought i will post this here, maybe you can use it for your sequencer

hope it helps

Hi Nubeat, thanks for the example. Interesting method, but seem that the left button functions (a part from double click for adding drawing) do not work here. any suggestions?
