This thing is badass! Nice work!

Edit: Might I suggest an accompaniment:
https://www.ableton.com/en/packs/64-pad-lab/

Edit 2: Overdub might be a cool addition?

Edit 3: Would be nice to be able to set a starting note (so that you could move around in a > 16 pad drum rack)

Edit 4: Would be nice to be able to sequence rests.

@chapelierfou,
Great Patch! I had a blast playing around with it right away! Very addicting.

I am trying to add autofocus to it. Here is where I am at: The drum pattern lights are appearing as they should. The bottom control lights are not reappearing though. Maybe @elquinto or @jasonw22 can chime in on what I need to tweak.

Here is the altered patch.

Updated :

  • Added a REST input
  • changed the behavior when changing rates : it automatically resyncs the pattern to the new rate value.

Thanks @jasper_ryder for the effort !

hmm i’m not getting any response with my varibright 64. the master device sees it and connects but when i click on the patterns device it’s not sending anything to ableton and there’s no led feedback on the monome. live 9

Did you set the prefix and hit initialize ?

#16

ok must have done something wrong it’s working now thanks

#17

Thanks for this. This is really fun! Super groovy. What was the rest input?

#18

Insert a silence : while holding the preset button, hit the first pad on the top function row.

I just uploaded the new versions. Please download both, i didn’t change the master’s name but it’s been updated.

Now :

  • The division buttons are flashing in sync with their rate.
  • Top function row button 4 is OVERDUB/REPLACE (hold and play).
  • The Master device has two midi-mappable buttons : resync all seq and global stutter

TIP : you can record an empty pattern entering the number of rests you want and then overdub !

to do : recording a new preset while the previous one is still playing.

You’re on fire! Can’t wait to explore the update. Thanks.

Hey Jason,
Rest input and Overdub are here now.
I’ll add the note offsets to switch banks within the drum rack.

#23

You’re the best! It’s so much fun, very “live”.

Thanks !
I added your Master device to the first post.
Corrected (i think) a bug that could link to weird overdub offsets.
Changed the tempo flashing to 50/50 instead of short pulses.

@chapelierfou,
So no need to update the SLPatternsMaster with autofocus again, you just made changes in
DR_Sat, correct?

Off topic, looking at the file sizes, why does the file size get smaller when I add autofocus? Weird.

Sol Lewitt is a huge inspiration! He has a quite beautiful installation in Atlanta that I pass all the time.

You can now move in the drum rack by offsets of 16 pads with top function row, button 2 (down) and 3 (up).
