| Device Type: | MIDI Effect |
| Description: | Drum Muse is a MIDI drum sequencer that uses an atypical counting mechanism allowing it to move through the steps of its sequences in unusual ways. It features six sequencer tracks, each with individual length, rate, and loop settings ideal for making long, evolving, poly-rhythmic patterns. Each track uses a preliminary counting loop to step through its sequence in variable increments forward, backward, or back and forth. This loop can then be set to "jump" forward a number of steps after a selectable number of repetitions. Version 1.1- Fixed inconsistent syncing with Live's Transport, freezing tracks works as well now. Version 1.2- - Added "Dice" buttons for each track to randomize the step grid. - Added "Randomize" and "Reset" buttons on the Velocity tab of each track to randomize velocity sliders independent of step grid. - New "Link" button in swing section so that the swing amount for all six tracks can be adjusted simultaneously. Version 1.21- Fixed bug where the Dice icon for Drum 6 step grid was randomizing drum 5's steps. Features: - Six velocity capable sequence lanes. -Each track has independent randomize buttons for the step grid and velocity sliders. - Per-track pattern/loop length and rate settings - Solo and mutes for each track - Individual and entire pattern quantized reset buttons -"Auto Reset" to force all six sequencers back to step 1 after a selectable number of bars -Individual swing amounts for all six tracks that can be scaled globally. -Midi transpose mode allows midi input to transpose all six tracks for use as a melodic sequencer -Midi thru mode allows clip or controller midi to be merged with the Drum Muse output -20 recallable preset patterns per instance -All features, other than step grid and preset buttons, automatable and midi mappable. (Hoping to make the grid and presets mappable in future versions) Thanks to Gregory Taylor and his book "Step by Step - Adventures in Sequencing with Max/MSP." I used one of his lessons as a starting point for this device. |
