bitwise

Hi all. I've been working on a monome x0x-style drum sequencer in m4l. plugsync~ is handling the timing duties (with swing!) and js is taking care of button presses and general functionality. Since javascript isn't good for timing I'm dumping the note data to a matrixctrl to be triggered in time using getcolumn.

Everything is working fine so far but I wonder if there's something better than matrixctrl. Right now it's just storing binary values (note-on) but I'm going to add velocity and possibly other parameters to each cell, so matrixctrl seems like a dead end. I looked at jit.matrix but that might be overkill. I'm pretty new to this, so if someone could give me a nudge in the right direction I can hopefuly take it from there.

If it helps, my data structure in javascript is a 2d array of note objects/properties, if that makes sense.

Hello,
have you seen Note for max? http://www.noteformax.net

tons of ways of doing this. I like using multislider for sequencer data, particularly to allow pattern morphing with pattrstorage, but for that you'd need an array of them to handle all your data.

best object for sequencer data?
