M185 sequencer type

#1

Hi,
How to do a m185 sequencer ?
Thank you in advance.

I've made something similar in Max MSP - I'd say it's easiest to think of building an M185 type sequencer as a series of mini sequencers linked together.

8 stages (mini sequencers) chained together - when one reaches the end of it's sequence the clock switches to the next one, the next when finished passes the clock off to the next one and so on. Each stage holds a value (for the stage output, likely used for pitch) and has a counter that will send out 1-8 pulses. When the last pulse is reached the sequence is done and the clock goes into the next stage and the output switches, too.

There are various ways to work it but that concept I found to be the simplest.

I may program one eventually.

I made one a while ago. Just the basics, but you can use it as a starting point to do more advanced stuff.

Hi,
Very interesting sequencer !
I tried to code a stage. It's a first version, probably with bugs, I do not have a lot of time.
Is it possible to test it ?

Thanks to @philoop and @SmashedTransistors for their modules.

I just tested it and it works perfectly , I think that the STAGE will be very useful
thankYou
