Is it appropriate to also discuss hardware to bridge the gap between Live and modular here?

I’ve been very interested in some of the Expert Sleepers stuff to do just that for Live (and Reaktor) sequencing and am curious about others folks’ experience with USB MIDI -> CV and similar modules.

Patter is a really nice, simple to use, M4L sequencer.

Maybe also worth pointing out here that Live Packs are 25% off until the 28th.

I actually just released a new M4L “sequencer” today called ACDGEN.

It’s not a sequencer but a 16th note / acid-style bassline / melody generator. I’d say it fits within @maxijazz’s wish for something semi-generative. I designed it based on my experience playing live sets for the past years and, while it’s inspired by other devices such as Skinnerbox’s STING, it includes a bunch of more advanced features (7 different algorithms, automatic pattern variation, pattern shifter, export to midi clip, and more).
I definitely developed it with live performance in mind but it’s really useful for music production as well.

Here’s the blog post I wrote that constains all the info about it: http://spektroaudio.com/blog/2018/8/23/acdgen-10-is-now-available

Wow those isotonik devices look ace thanks for the link

It must be just me…I’ve never been able to get this sequencer to work!

anyone know if any of these (or others) have proper Push2 support?

the Ableton one is ok, but its not its strongest point… however, given its hands-on nature with the Push2 makes it the only one I ever bother with.

It’s me who actually programmed Renome and I really hope to find some time to get back to it. I had massive fun for the only show for which I developed it.

I built a generative sequencer based on the classic Sev max patch. Made sure it was playable as possible with Push, and it’s been tons of fun as a collaborator in my jams.

That’s so nice to see how much people share the same ideas all across the world. These semi-random, arpeggiator-derivated sequencers are quite inspiring, pleasant to play, and performance friendly. Having a little midi keyboard to just input the possible notes is a simple but very straighforward idea.

Great post. This makes me wish there was a eurorack quantizer that can receive midi notes to set the scale. So you could sequence the scales from the computer while doing the crazy stuff in the modular. Is there such a quantizer in the market ??

Seen marbles from mutable? You can play it a jam and it weights the “importance” of notes based on frequency, converts them to random seeds, then spits back out modulatable turing machined sequences based on those.

Probably not difficult to use with Live via VCV rack.

Or this !

Not as instantaneous as inputting a chord with midi, though.

Do you mean polyrhythmus? I use it often on drums. Needs you to open the device up to expose the note selector the pop in the ones you want. The help text is very useful too.

I did. Gave it another shot with your advice today and it worked. Thanks!
