![]() But why not use a step sequencer that is actually a dedicated filter sequencer to control both the filter cut off and filter resonance? In other words, you have only two destinations to play with – filter cut-off and filter resonance, but you have full midi note entry control along with pattern triggering and pattern modes. ![]() Step Sequencers are great fun to use when writing sequences of music but they come into their own when used as modulators to trigger the various features of a filter unit. The sequencer will be synced to the BPM of your track and you will be afforded some dynamic tools to shape the note data or add accents to notes and so on. This type of note inputting and re-triggering gives you huge control and flexibility but it can be time consuming and laborious.Ī better option might be to use a dedicated step sequencer that has a built-in grid where you can input notes and edit them to taste. You could then assign these midi notes to modulate anything you choose and in this tutorial, it will be filter cut-off and resonance. You could, in effect, create a midi channel, select a midi source to lay down the midi data (midi keyboard) or use the pencil tool and draw in midi notes to form a sequence that is then triggered on playback. This is the most basic form of step sequencing because step sequencing itself uses midi data to trigger events and sounds over a timeline. A sequence of midi notes are played in your DAW from left to right in line with the timeline of the project. There are many ways to add colour and movement to an existing sound using a filter processor and one such potent technique is to use the step sequencer in the DAW, or any third party step sequencer plugin, to modulate the various parameters of a filter processor.Įvery time you use your DAW to create a series of midi notes to trigger an event or sound it is termed as a sequence. If i quickly hit stop and then play then GFX will either start up or wait a bar or two and then start moving.Using a Step Sequencer to control Filter Cut-Off and Resonance is a video tutorial explaining how to use a step sequencer to control a filter’s cut-off and resonance. When i hit play on the Cirklon…GFX stops. Ok…muted all extra channels again and launched GFX Sequencer. I unmuted the tracks and it’s displaying all of the incoming info but it’s all on other MIDI channels. I muted all of the MIDI tracks on the Cirklon and saw that norns is only displaying and receiving START and STOP. I started up the norns script MIDI-Monitor and saw it was receiving some extra note on and CC messages which it should ignore (but might be the culprit). ![]() MIDI IN is from the Cirklon for clock and the MIDI out of norns is connected to an Access Virus B. It sends clock and can send every kind of MIDI message.Ĭurrently i have norns connected to MIDI with a Mio In Out device. : Added support of START/STOP commands via MIDIĭoes it send midi messages to your norns and if yes what kind of messages? How is it connected to the norns? Do you map it to menu parameters?.You can now choose midi device and channel to send on in the EDIT menu. ![]() MIDI Device (Synth,etc.) (optional), OSC (optional) DocumentationĪ detailed documentation PDF can be found on my GitHub page. (max4live osc receiver is available on my GitHub page) Gfx seq can produce sound on its own (it has a sc engine) but it was built to send midi data to a connected device or via osc. therefore in this sub-mode patterns define which notes of a sequence are skipped or played. if a pixel is bright the corresponding note of the step sequence is played. this means in a 8 step sequence pixels 1-8 are step 1-8 and pixels 9-16 again are step 1-8. Sub-mode b where the sequence will be repeated over every pixel of the length of the 64圆4 pattern. this way patterns define the timing of the steps. sub-mode a: in which the next note of the sequence will be played everytime a bright pixel is read from the pattern. notes are defined via an editable sequence (8-64 steps). In the second mode called »grid« a 64圆4 grid is created which will be read from left to right or top to bottom. every bright pixel on that axis will be converted into its corresponding midi note. since the display of a norns is 128圆4 pixels the x-axis matches the available notes in midi range: 0-127. It consists of two modes: »musicbox« where the patterns are moving constantly upwards on the y axis and the top line will be converted into notes. Gfx-sequencer is a pattern based sequencer for the norns environment.
