Creating a multitrack sequencer with reaktor.

Octaviu5 · 2022-11-17T06:16:18+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Is there an easy way to create a multitrack sequencer with swing and variable velocity but that at the same time can send the state of each step out (through midi or osc) so that i can build a hardware interface out of an arduino or something like touchOsc?

I have several ideas for sequencer concepts that id like to prototype, and reaktor seems like a good starting point, but all i could find is the 16 sequencer and i honestly dont know if something like a 64 or 128 step can be achieved.

Any pointer would be appreciated. Thank you.

I suggest starting with Krypt. It has everything you mentioned, multitrack(6), swing, velocity, 64 steps. Best of luck with your project.

Something like that?

64 steps in 4 pattern it's enough and polyrhythms.

Thanks guys for all the responses.

I am actually almost done with this. what i did is i tore down the polyplex seq and adapted it to my needs.

Im currently in the process of implementing a "copy" function in order to be able to have multiple patterns.

Thank you all again.

YES!! is almost exactly what i had in mind.

But i wish it had ratcheting.

Can you think of a good way of implementing it?

Paule

But i wish it had ratcheting

In Polyplex? A sample of ratcheting? Or the control function only?

Like a cog rattle?

On the german wikipedia is a sound sample of 6 Kastenratschen:

A manual to build a Ratschen in German Slang from Austria with a lot of sound samples to use in Polyplex.

No. Ratcheting means repeating a step during its duration.

basically you can listen to this effect in trap music. with the hi hats

Paule

Is it a Freeze function? I don't know it.

This is very different?

NO. its note repetition.

Basically playing the same note 2 times instead of one.

Paule

pandoro reverse

Take your choice for Reverse in Snapshots

Freeze is in my last upload but no repetition. So you can develope one. I never need such function in my music.

This freezer in pandoro gives a really extreme slow down.

I found one in Grainstate fx from the factory library.

It works with Cloud Delay. Now you can build one

Paule

Octaviu5, you look for a Grain Delay.

This is an audio effect and has nothing to do with a midi sequencer (Events).

You can search the user library or rebuild Grainstates fx for stuff you need.

I just dl a grain delay but without freeze and much too high cpu usage.

Here is one as ism. Hook in at the end of your fav ens.

This is not what im looking for.

here is a video i found which explains ratcheting.

Paule

There is no video in your post.

I found some on YT. Do you try to use the rmx?

Paule

Search your Factory Library for LimeLite and test their Remix section, please

Another Pre-LimeLite is in the user library
