Grid based delay/FX sequencer/interstellar party starter
TimeParty is 7 step sequencers that each modulate a different delay parameter: “rate”, “time”, “feedback” and “autopan”, “filter cutoff,” “reverb,” “buffer position” Each sequencer has independent lengths and clock divisions.
So I found a bug where the delay times weren’t updating properly when changing BPM, but it should be fixed now. Anyone who has already downloaded may want to re-download.

Yes, was about to reply I think this is the issue. I named the github repo “TimeParty” without thinking about the paths. If you rename the directory to lowercase “timeparty” it should work. I’ll update the github link.
made a lot of updates to this! I think it’s a much more interesting/versatile effect now. Would love for people to try it out and let me know what you think!
Updates:
Timeparty is now 7 sequencers (time, rate, feedback, reverb, filter cutoff, buffer position and autopan (thanks to the wonderful hnds lua LFO library from @justmat )
Rate has “scale” modes in parameters and can now be set to “major” or “minor” (default is “perfect” intervals 1,4,5)
You can shift the modulation values for each sequencer, which means it can now go from pretty slow to karplus-strong fast!
configurable crow inputs to toggle freeze, reverse, clock the sequencer, or sync the delay time. The “sync” code was basically copied verbatim from an example @zebra posted awhile back on how to implement a tap tempo, so thanks for that
The grid appearance/behavior is different, and roughly 95% more fun to look at.
Fixed my math for the time sequencer which was way off.
I updated the top post with a hastily thrown together demo featuring a drum break and 2 simple synths recorded in one take through Timeparty.

Is this because I don’t have a crow or is it because I need to update my norns version since crow was introduced?
First issue is something else, not sure.
Commented those bits out and things seem to be working now!
