Is there any easy way to set up a Logic Control (or MCU) to be a pattern sequencer? I'd like to have the faders control pitch by default, and the knobs control length. Ideally the faders could be flipped to control velocity or some other CC on a per-step basis and the buttons could be used to mute/unmute steps and tie/untie steps. -- Simon Gatrall gatrall@...

What a cool idea! -- Best Regards, Gareth Jones http://www.garethjones.com

I imagine some sort of melding with the old environment-based Universal Step Sequencer would be possible. You'd use an audio object to control each step, routing the CC/Fader messages that result from Audio object control into the USS. The main difficulty might be vpots->length, since the environment delay object isn't remote controllable, thus step sequencers built with it tend to use switching networks to produce different set note lengths rather than continuously variable lengths. Hmmmm ... Or ... perhaps you could use the Audio object front ends and pipe the resulting midi to Numerology or some other suitable app. Might be easier and more flexible?
