anyone know where i can find [steps~] and/or how i can replace it?

steps

Is it not on the share pages anymore? Here it is anyway.

this is great, haven't seen this external before. Is there a way to make random step inside the sequence?

The sequence is stored as samples in a buffer, so you could either [peek~] in individual random samples or randomize the multislider data using a list manipulator like [zl scramble] or something

timlloyd: you are a ninja! once again.. thanks a lot.

Glad you like steps~. I haven't looked at it in a long time, but if you have any feature suggestions for my little set of externals let me know. They are all ridiculously simple objects internally. A random step feature might be cool, but not sure how that would work. Any ideas?

There could be an inlet for threshold time, and if the trigger inlet received two 0-nonzero transitions within the threshold time the output could jump to a random step........orrr if the trigger inlet DIDN'T receive two 0-nonzero transitions within the threshold time it would jump to a random step. So any slight deviation from the set "rate" would cause randomness.....

Or it could accept a list (eg. the output of a multislider - range of 0. to 1. with the same number of sliders as steps). Each slider could set the probability (for each step) of triggering a jump to a random step.

I might have some more ideas as well, but not sure if they make any sense yet :P

@timlloyd, you know it's really not as difficult as I would have guessed. The Max 5 SDK is far improved over previous versions, and it gets you up to speed pretty quickly with template projects. Writing MSP objects is pretty fun actually, if you have a simple idea that would be a mess in patcherland. There's also lots of example code that you can tweak to get going.

Yeah, I know a few people who are learning Java at the moment, and it's making me itch to start learning text-based programming! Unfortunately it has to wait until uni work is out of the way :(
