VLM.Turbulent Sequencer for Max4Live

A very tweakable deterministic random sequence generator with all automatable parameters.

It uses FFT and distributions to generate a sequence, so everything is repeatable. You can save the device as a preset or with your project and it will load up the same sequence. Automate a parameter to generate variations of the sequence throughout a track, or map it to an LFO to make infinite slowly evolving ambient sequences.

The default mode uses a MIDI clock (steps on MIDI note input), so play a clip with C3 16th notes through it. Other notes will transpose the sequence and then step. Live sync is also available.

There’s an .adv preset with a 303-ish Operator and distortion to give an idea of how to use it.

The Java requirement seems to be a problem for some, but after some fiddling everybody seems to get it working… I’m planning it to C++ when I know where I want to take this thing next.
