SimonSaysSeeq - A Eurorack gate and cv sequencer and midi looper

Primary LanguageC++OtherNOASSERTION

SimonSaysSeeq

Simon Says Seeq is a modeless sequencer (one function per knob / button)

Depending on the platform, it's a Gray code gate sequencer, triggered CV envelope generator / audio delay / VCA and midi looper - step sequencer.

Why?

I wanted to create melodies and rhythms easily (but not randomly).

I wanted to loop midi easily (always on looping).

The gate / CV outputs were created to drive a pitch quantizers via attenuator/offsets and so create repeatable yet dynamic melodies.

Design Principles

Modeless: A knob only controls one thing. Holding a button and turning a knob is just about "ok" for a different function, but pressing a button to create a different mode is not "ok". See the late Larry Tesler's work on NOMODES.

Platforms

The software (in various forms) runs on Teensy based hardware and also Bela Salt (embedded Linux).

All the platforms have the Gray code sequencer and CV envelop outs. Some have midi looping and some have audio looping / VCA.
