Hello and welcome!
Ansible + Grids is an incredibly flexible combo, with a very straight forward and minimal approach to writing sequences in Kria. It’s great to be able to take up less hp while also being able to run four different sequences independently, each with their own length and timing, though still tied to the tempo of Ansible or an incoming clock source. It can be a little confusing to get your head around just reading the documents and watching videos, what’s better is if you can have a play in conjunction with this.
Ansible also comes with Meadowphysics software, switchable with the push of a button, which is a completely different approach to sequencing that can produce some interesting results.
Check out this software update which addresses some of your concerns:
If I were in your position I’d use Metropolis and Ansible together!
