gridstep is a polyphonic, isomorphic grid keyboard sequencer for monome norns + grid.
- norns
- grid 128 or 64 - note input and sequencing
- external midi devices - for getting more sounds than just Molly The Poly
- The grid can be played in an isomorphic layout that is either chromatic or in-scale.
- It can sequence up to 16 tracks.
- Sequences are stored as grid positions rather than notes and can be recorded from the grid input or programmed in.
- Each track can send it's notes to the internal sound engine (Molly The Poly) or to any midi channel or device.
- Each track can have up to 16 patterns that can be quickly changed individually or as scenes.
- Each pattern can have up to 16 bars and the length of a bar can be set between 1 step to 16 steps. By mixing up bar lengths, you can create interesting polyrhythms!
- Each step can have trigger conditions to create dynamic patterns!
- Each step can have a different velocities and note lengths.
- Each step can be offset +- 12 substeps or 16 substeps if the pattern is in triplet mode.
- The entire project can be saved and projects can be loaded during playback.
documentation for gridstep can be found here.
v1.1.1 - bug fix to prevent too many of the same note from triggering at once which can crash Molly The Poly
v1.1.0 - Added support for 64 / 8x8 grids.
- works mostly the same as for 128 grids.
- in 64 grid mode, keys 7 and 8 on the toolbar(y = 8) can be used to select steps 1-8 or steps 9-16 for editing.
- use key 3 to round robin through the grid pages: play, pattern launch, sequence.
- cut, copy, and paste have been moved to keys 4,5,6
- in grid play and grid sequence keys 7 and 8 on row 7 can be used to scroll up and down
- in grid pattern launch mode use shift + 5 and 6 to scroll the pattern view up and down.
- All the shortcuts for the 128 mode are unchanged.
v1.0.1 - fixed bug that could occur when changing the number of bars in a pattern.
v1.0.1 - initial release
