Hi guys!

This is a note generator module that can produce arpeggio like sequences and more.
The sequences can be morphed in real time with the controls.

It has been in progress since spring 2012 and was going to be a part of other templates but removed due to timing issues.

Recently began to work on it again:

Here's a quick demo video:

It is not quite ready for release but I've been looking at only code and note numbers all week while rewriting and debugging...
so it was fun to actually hear the template play a synthesizer.

messy debug screenshot, not the final screen but a work pad to develop ideas. Some controls will be removed because they are meant to be in a different template.



Features:
Multiple independent note gen units, each can output to different MIDI channels/Lemur targets.
Note gens can also be linked to one another, so when one note gen completes its sequence the next is played.
Since each unit can be configured with sequence length, key, chord/note length and interval this opens up some interesting possibilities.
The sequence can be triggered using Lemur on-screen pads, MIDI input, and maybe LFOs.

Cooooool!!!!

This would be awsome have thought about from time to time if that would be possable to have arp in lemur with no max/msp.

Nice work and thanks again for the other note generator with wide keys.

I want to build something for dum pad controller a note repeat which wouldnt require max/msp or max for live. That way i could do Akai Mpc style repeat function. without making beat in maschine.

Thanks guys!

We still don't have access to timing more detailed than 16ms and that can vary depending upon frame rate..
but when there is tighter timing then I'll be added it to this and other templates.

My Wifi router hasn't been so great lately and there were dropped notes and notes hung because note offs were not received.
So I connected the synth directly using the hardware interface that you see there. So the timing became much more consistent.

There are little glitches now and again, not sure how they happen but it is the entire template pausing because I see the scope trace pause and monitor objects do not update.

cheers~

This project looks incredibly awesome.. i hope you are making progress!
btw will it be syncable to an external clock or can we set BPM speed?

Hi! thanks. The BPM speed will be adjustable, I only need to redesign the layout to fit the control.
External clock sync will possible but won't be exact (like with the BPM) until we get access to more detailing timing
controls for Lemur.

great great great, that looks amazing and i can't wait.
thanks in advance for your work!!!!

Hi CbJack68, Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Looks amazing man !
great work !

Thank you tomazzzi, welcome to the forum, BTW- hope you're finding useful templates in the user library!

Allright so it seems that I should work up a proper user interface for this thing.

After I do and test, I'll simply release it. When we have the ability to code more accurate timing, then I'll update.
