Device Overview

Name/Version: Len Stepper 3
Author: zsteinkamp  
Description: This is a Max For Live step sequencer that is oriented around emitting different patterns of notes in a loop. Its main interface is to configure a 1-16 step loop, where each step is a note of some number of measure divisions long.

This allows you to build interesting polyrythms and fugal melodies in conjunction with my other device, KeyStepper. You can do this by using a loop length and/or number of divisions that results in interesting shifting patterns, especially if you set them using prime numbers.

The sequencer begins on note-on and stops on note-off. When beginning, it always starts from the first step.

this looks great - fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing it

Just posted v3 which fixes a ton of stability, timing, and issues around simultaneous notes. Re-implemented without Javascript, which ended up being poor at timekeeping.
