[v. 0.3] Quincy is a monophonic step sequencer. Input a sequence by playing keys, any number of steps up to 128. Repeatedly pressing a key lengthens the note’s duration unless you separate repeated notes with rests, which are input via the highest key. When you’re finished inputting notes hit the aux key to loop the sequence. Pressing any key while the sequence plays will transpose the sequence. Pressing any key when the sequence is paused will wipe the sequence and begin inputting a new sequence. [v 0.3 outputs midi notes with the proper durations]
Knob 1 selects the tempo.
Knob 2 selects the octave
Knob 3 selects the filter cutoff of the synth.
Knob 4 will slice up the sequence and only play every nth note. Setting it to a number that doesn’t evenly divide into the number of steps will make the playback wrap around until it eventually arrives back at the first step. This is kind of a random source of fun but it suggests a bunch of other interesting ways to mangle the sequence (I’ll develop this idea further at some point).
Not at all sure what this is for but I’m open to suggestions. My limited understanding of PureData has gotten me this far but I’m still learning.
First this seemed very similar to the Punchy patch, but it does have some great surprises; the Slice feature is really simple but so much fun to experiment with!! I don’t think I’ve seen such a feature on any Organelle patch but it creates great complexity by just adjusting 1 parameter. And I love the simplicity of selecting new notes automatically when its not playing – not needing to hold a button or so. Great well designed UI principles! :)
