Device Details
Overview
Name | Version: | Advanced Step Sequencer 2.0 |
Author: | Rozzer |
Device Type: | MIDI Effect |
Description: | This step sequencer is quite unlike the Step Sequencer bundled with M4L. It's a live.grid based sequencer - notes, gate, tie, velocity and two control changes. What's unique about it is that you can set different loop points for each of those elements, which allows for anything from simple 303-style basslines to endlessly evolving, rotating, mutating melody lines. The other unique thing about this is that it's designed to work solely within musical scales. The sequencer grid adapts itself to whatever scale you choose. Choose a chromatic scale, and you get a full 12 steps to play with, but choose a pentatonic scale and the grid automatically adapts itself to show only 5 rows (notes). You don't need to know any music theory to get great results. Add to all that a bunch of useful randomization options and it becomes a really useful tool. Top tip - Rack these up and put several each in their own chain for mad polyphonic polyrhythmic sequences. Updates: 2.0 - Working in Live 10. Replaced 2x MIDI CC sequencers with 5x direct parameter control sequencers. 1.0.6 - Fix for unresponsive settings buttons in Live 9 / Max 6. 1.0.5 - Proper naming for automate-able parameters. 1.0.4 - New syncing/clock system. Fixes several bugs and allows the sequencer to lock to song position. 1.0.2 - Fixed a problem with sequencer not starting on first launch. |

Awesome patch! Would it be hard to add APC40/Launchpad support?

Most excellent, I really like functionality and layout, thanks!
Maybe a swingfunction ? Most seqs seem to be missing that.
Is wonderful as it is though.

hi rozzer, great work, and thanks. a point though - all the automation / modulation appears under unusable generic object names (like live.numbox[1] etc). could you look into naming all your parameters etc with rozzer-type names and ordering them? my names suck, (and i do hate to use edits of others devices, (!)). thanks again!

different loop points and musical scales are doing a lot of job for me!!! saves my time...
is it posibile to add patches so it can be automated? or somehow add to clips. or maby i'm not diggin it...

Thanks for the suggestions mdrfdr. Patches would be nice, but it seems that the Preset object does not support live.grid at this time. I've been told Ableton will fix that at some point.
What do you mean by adding clips?

I mean like you work with audio clip in arrangement view, and then you export slices in new midi track... but nevermind that, that was stupid suggestion.
Adding any option, any way to make ASS work through diferent phrases in track will be great! ;)
P.S. And people, how do you get it ? Adding more than one ASS and enableing and disableing them in arrangement ?

I tend to just record the output to a midi clip when I'm happy with the sequence.
I do want to think more about live performance features though so I'll bear your request in mind. Another thing I want to add is transposition via midi input, so you could transpose the whole sequence, but still have it output in the correct key and scale.

is there anyway to export a pattern from the sequencer to "midi clip" pattern. So I can work with it as an ordinary midi pattern (midi clip) with the grid and the keyboard on the left?

Love this sequencer! thanks so much Rozzer for your great work. just one question, i cant figure out how to use the cc controllers section, am i missing something? i figure out a parameter's midi cc number under the midi mapping tab in live and then change the knob to that same number, nothing happens. any ideas?

Beautiful device! But I do not get the tie thing: I would expect it to holde the first note that appears during the tie as long as long as there is a consecutive set of ties. But if I look at the MIDI notes that is not the case. So how can I use the ties e.g. with simpler?

I love this thing. There are a couple of improvements I would like to see (like the ability to automate named parameters and not just generic MIDI CCs, and being able to record realtime edits to the sequence as MIDI data) but this is a terrific tool for putting together some nicely layered grooves.

hey just wanted to say that presets recall the settings for the livegrids and other live stuff now, at least in max519. I wasted a lot of time trying to use pattr objects for the livegrid and livenumber objects, which doesn't work - has to use autopattr for the live objects and then the pattrstorage can access them properly as far as i can tell. Thanks so much rozzer for this really versatile step sequencer. You are great.

... also noticed that the "arrow" controls for each parameter also do nothing. I'm guessing it's a problem with my system since nobody else reported it.

Exactly the same here, no random or move notes functionality. Live 9, M4L 6.1.
Apart from that - a lovely little tool ;)

Hey this is a great user interface on this one.. but the pentatonic and blues scales are not the right intervals.. unless I'm missing something.. the major seems to be good.. other ones I have not checked yet.. do you think you will ever fix this? thank you!

Hi and we'll done for this fantastic device! Just one question from a live novice 😉 are there any ways I can change patterns in one single track using midi ? Or how do I stop it if I want to use another patern with another synth?

Hi all,
An update, nothing groundbreaking, but big enough to call v2. MIDI CC sequencers have been replaced with direct parameter control. Much more flexible for any automation within Live. Enjoy.

Hi Rozzer, the features of this (surprisingly) free product are incredible. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble using your device in any kind of dark theme. Many of the parameter and button labels become indistinguishable from the background. Is there a way to fix it?

Hi Rozzer!
In ableton 10.1.7, if you open more than one instance of Rozzer, the 2nd one either doesn't run... or takes like 3 min until it starts running!
I don't know what might be, but here is the tip :)

Hey, this thing is great, but I noticed a bug.
When I record the MIDI into a new track to save the sequence, it doesn't bring along the Param01-Param05 sequence data -- only pitch/octave/velocity data. The Param Sequencing is probably the most powerful feature of this, so this seems like an odd omission.
Other things that IMO would be great additions:
-Ability to lock a step to exclude it from randomization
-Ability to sequence Note Length(Gate time)
-Ability to set a randomization range for pitch/oct/vel
-For certain params, when using the up/down arrow buttons to move the sequenced values up and down, it would be cool if you could toggle the "wrapping" effect off, so that for example if you moved the velocity arrow up, once a note hit 127 it stayed there as you continued moving the rest of the notes up, sort of "squeezing" things into a closer range.

Could you add individual presets to the notes, gate, tie, velocity and two control changes? that way you could save individual presets for each of those and combine together.

This thing is amazing, only two things would make it my favorite step sequencer:
1. Transpose with incoming MIDI
2. A tab for gate length
3. Ability to rename Param1-5 to more descriptive labels
Otherwise this is impressive and musical and just a lot of fun!
