C74 Sandbox

Here is the first C74 Sandbox upload! This patch features 8 combinations of objects to be thought of as modules. Be sure to experiment by moving things around and connecting the combinations in fun, irresponsible ways.

New mods:

-[4step] A four step sequence that drives the rest of the patch.
-[output] Receives patch data and converts it into synth sounds.
-[on/off] A toggle mod for turning steps on/off.
-[octave] Controls for setting the global pitch of this sequence. -24/+24
-[delay] Adds another delayed trigger to each step with time control.
-[random] on/off for two octaves of pitch randomization.
-[automate] Two point automation with time control.
-[divide] Create up to four new steps from a single trigger.

Thank you JR.

Looking forward to getting into this, I've already picked up the Smartphones devices which I love and I will be referring to them extensively in my dissertation. I'm so excited by what action-based sequencing has to offer.

How do I download this properly? It just opens the textual code when I click on it.

Copy the text, open Max and go File->New from Clipboard, then save the patch

Im running an A minor scale threw , fist just a math bump , in minor scale +7 and + 2 stay in key without scaling ,,, some sharps slip in + 5 + 3 ,,,, run it threw your scaler in C major fixes the sharp events for a minor,, I think I'm looking for a Coll that is not fixed to a C , so I can fix all the keys not just
c maj A minor clan , is there a way to tune this Coll? I got lots of bad arguments if it helps my irresponsible quota.

this work cave man patch style ,, although the u menu invalid most of the time .., correction bad argument , sharps occur on full scale run , on all bumps ,, this sounds good just opening and closing g switches ,, why not
C 0 C 2 really?
