M4L Drum Box Sequencer

Drum Box V3.3 (20th May 2013)
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
a xox sequencer with a simple user interface and efficient functions. This patch is nice & cpu friendly :-)

The sequencer is derived from the Skinner Box M4L device as I like the sequencer look & feel. The functions proposed were also very pertinent.

I also took some ideas from the Elektron Octatrack (LFOs...) and Arturia Spark looping function (Loop/Divide...).

** Use this patch with drum rack or any synth to create easily nice sounds!

Main Functions
- WRITE // easily drum lines (or melody)
- SAVE // Patterns are automatically saved and reloaded in your live set,
- FLAM // You can make sort of FLAM - LoopDivide from Arturia Spark machine.
- CHAIN // You can CHAIN Patterns (i.e. SONG mode).
- LFOs // to modulate any parameters like on the Octatrack :-)
- PRE-FILLED patterns (71 in total)
- SWING function
- TRANSPOSE function
- each parameter value (lfo, settings, midi notes...) can be saved into different presets making this plug-in very flexible and creative ;-)

Other functions
- You can change the midi velocity for each row -> VOL from 0 to 127 maximum.
- You can add accent. Each accent row can have a specific value .. from 0 to 127 maximum.
- You can randomize the rows
- You can change the direction, playing forward or reverse
- You can select the speed for each row -> 1/16, 1/8, 1/32, etc.
- You can change the midi notes for each rows (C1 , C#2 ...)
- you can change the length of the track from 1 step to 16 steps..
- all the functions can be mapped on your favorite midi controller, you can thus control the length of your track in real time making Repeat Effects. You can play with volumes of accents, etc!
