Year's ago, soon after I first discovered puredata, I started a project to build a sequencer for my volca sample. I got quite far, but too far in some ways and not far enough in others. I could make a crazy pattern, but I never got around to sorting out a simple save/load system. It had a somewhat elaborate gui before it even had proper functionality. It was an unwieldy mess and I ended up giving up on it. Then recently I started a similar project for some new hardware I'd bought, but an error with uploading some corrupted firmware saw it away for repairs, so I dug this old project out. I started again from scratch and can see that I've made a lot of progress in terms of my understanding of the program and also the principles of design/making things, but the sequencer remains in a rudimentary state. It already has a simple save/load system built in, however, and I'm quite excited still by the prospects of it. This time around I'm producing some more generic components/abstractions, so the work will also help towards building other things. There's no crazy sequencing in this example, just a simple pattern put through a few changes. I had bigger ideas but this is all that worked in the end. It's made from a little song I sang after a day of messing around with frog samples. I think it drove me somewhat crazy, but mostly in a happy way and at least it didn't kill me.
