alef's bits released to library

hello friends :slight_smile:

after quite a lengthy break, i’ve finally started opening vs code again, and have been making some changes and updates here and there to this plugin (still not quite ready to get back to tackling NullPath and Turbulence’s polyphony issue just yet).

i’ve been talking back and forth with @Omri_Cohen about how he uses the ‘slips’ module, and what he would like to see changed or implemented. i currently have a working build on my local machine with the following changes:

  • removed the extra quantizer input/output pair, because i never use them myself, and Omri said he doesn’t either, and they were just taking up space on the panel
  • removed the ‘slip range’ parameter and cv input, and am now using the same internal “CV Range” single-header library from @Patheros to control both the base sequence range and the slip value range from the right click menu.
  • added an entirely separate sequence alongside the primary one, mainly to be used as a random modulation source (one of Omri’s primary requests). it too has a right click menu option using the same “CV Range” library as the primary sequence and slip ranges. i’ve also added two menu toggles to control whether or not the modulation sequence is affected by either the slips and/or the step probability.
  • (EDIT) i forgot to point out, as you can see in the video below, i also added a “mod gen” trigger input/button. this will generate a new modulation sequence independent of the primary “seq gen” triggers, which will generate a new primary sequence AND a new modulation sequence.

i’m also considering adding an option to also quantize the mod sequence to the module’s root note / scale, just so it could also just be used as a secondary v/oct sequence.

here’s a quick 30ish second clip of using the mod sequence (with a custom range of 4V-10V, thanks Path :P) to control FM-OP’s feedback.

i’ll update more here as things progress, and when i have a stable and fully updated build available in the github repo.

also interested to know if anybody else has any suggested changes/additions to any of my modules while i’m focused solely on this plugin. please feel free to let me know here.
