I appreciate ES’s ability to thrive outside the rule of a clock but also find many times where I want it synced up.
I actually think it could be interesting to turn ES into a shift register where the voltage outputs rotate in time with some sort of grids input, clocked or not. The position of each output knob could dictate the precise next voltage in its rotation or simply a range of voltages. Grids could further define the min/max for the range, the quantized global scale, the trigger input timing (or allow triggering by hand). The edge output could be a clock output (with selectable divisions, multiplications of the master clock) and the position output could be an LFO with selectable wave patterns synced to the clock output. The shift register would then be playable through both grids and the ES knobs. In fact, thinking about this more, all functionality of grids for this app could be ported over for the new Arc.
I know nothing about coding so this is all speculative and pipe dreamy for me.
