AX-101 sequencer

#1

Here's my first version of my sequencer inspired by the SH-101
I've included a version (03B) which uses an internal gate sequencer and synth so it will run directly on the Axoloti.

The patch got a bit messy so i've inluded the original (03) which is designed to work with external hardware/software as trigger source and note destination. The version for external hardware is cleaner and it should be easier to figure out.

Both versions rely on my "dynamic counter" object which allows the counter maximum to be set while a patch is live. You'll obviously need to copy this to your objects folder to get the patches to work.

The basic idea is that you put the sequencer in record mode then input notes with a keyboard. Then put the sequencer in play mode and start the triggers. The sequencer cycles through however many notes you entered whenever it receives a trigger. The fun part (well i think) is when the sequence cycle doesnt match an even bar division so it rolls around.
I discovered this when using a TR-606 tom output to trigger the SH-101 sequencer. Instead of having 1/4, 1/8 or 1/16 evenly spaced triggers i could enter randomly spaced triggers and have the 101 cycle around all over the place.

A few issues i'm running into:

Running the 03 version quite often the Axoloti freaks out and disconnects. Quitting and reconnecting the Axoloti hardware helps this.

Running 03B the Axoloti tends to freeze.

Am i creating weird internal feedback loops or something? I'm curious if this happens to other users?

Here's a video of a tryout with a newer version which i'll post below. This one memorizes a single sequence. I have another working with 8 sequence slots which i'll clean up and post soon.

Nice. Whats that little box with the blue LED? Looks like it has a sequencer on it.

Mutable Instruments Shruthi. It actually does have a sequencer, but i'm not using it. The running leds means it's in "performance mode" where you can map synth parameters from all layers to the top level knobs.

sounds really good, carlos! i just downloaded that and will figure it out. if that works, expand it. i mailed you about it on soundcloud. listen to this track, everything on it it done with a similar sequencer but its based on math and not playing:

thanks again!

Also check out this patch by @sovietpop which doesn't rely on custom objects:

this looks great, thanks for sharing. I have my first axoloti on the way shortly so keen to give this a try.
