Hey team,
After making my way through the Grid Studies for Max, I took a stab at the “suggested exercises” and put together a scale and root-note capable step sequencer. Since so many scales have 8 tones (w/the octave), I chose to make a vertical playhead run in the background instead of consuming the bottom row.
It’s all working fine, but I’ve run into a brick wall with trying to cleanly get the redraw to happen. I’m currently sending a timed bang
to the matrixctrl
that holds my toggled notes, but this creates a weird stuttering effect on the playhead redraw. I understand why it’s happening, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to correctly utilize zl.reg
or coll
or anything else to save the toggled notes and redraw them on demand.
Found some hazy ideas on the old forum and know Brian has addressed a roadmap previously, but none of it makes any dang sense to me.
Anyone able to take a look at the project and give some insight?
