Sequencer w adjustable length help

David Burgreen's icon

Hi!

I've followed the tutorials below to make a step sequencer with adjustable length. What I'm having trouble with is the ability to keep the note values and on/off values of higher steps when the sequence is shortened.

For example if I have a 16 note sequence I like, to be able to shorten it to 11 notes, and then lengthen back to 16 and have the original 16 note sequence I liked (with the same note values in the multi-slider and same on/off triggers in the matrixctrl).

Is this possible and if so I'd really appreciate any help - thanks so much!

you need to shorten count of the steps

not the list itself, which would remove values from it.

for example if you use multislider set to 16 sliders,

don't cange the list, only change counter that recalls them.

Thanks for this - I've got it almost working now, but still have a couple issues.

  1. When a step is "off" in the mtrixctrl, I am getting a change (in snapshot~) to the note on index zero in the multislider.

  2. When I have multiple steps of the same note adjacent to each other, I get no output.

  3. Even if 2 is solved it doesn't work when the sequence length is 1 step (bc counter doesn't change)

1 - I have no idea why it's happening, and unsure how to solve it.

2 - I understand why it's happening but unsure the best way to solve it.

3 - Same as 2

Any advice would be really super nice to hear.
