AS Steps

by Sabroi & Hellbound!

A convenient yet feature intensive step sequencer that aims to be the one stop shop for all your generative and randomization sequencing needs

Developed using Max for Live

Ableton Live Suite 11+ Required

Overview

 

Notes Tab:

  1. Visualized Notes: visualization of current scale and base notes via a easy to navigate UI

  2. Gates: quick access to adding/removing gates and as well as shifting gate positions

  3. Note Properties: includes shortcuts to easily change the Note Length, Velocity and Octave (press the yellow info (i) button on the top right corner to show all included shortcuts)

  4. % Tab: determining the probability of how likely the note will be triggered

Harm Tab:

  1. Chord Addition: Adds a chord for each specific step where selected

  2. Omit Note: ability to omit specified note from the selected chord

  3. Chord Inversion: ability to invert chords depending on the selected chord

  4. Humanize Notes and Velocity: randomize the note timing & all the note velocities

  5. Roll: gives a strumming effect and decides how fast or slow the strum is

  6. Curve: changes the curvature shape on how the roll is applied either logarithmically or exponentially

Mod Tab:

  1. Mappable Modulation: when mapped, parameter will be selected as target and will be modulated via the mod sequencer (press the yellow ≡ on the top right to view the mapping window)

  2. Rise/Fall: smooths out the modulation depending on either logarithmic or linear modes (press the yellow ≡ on the top right to view the mapping window)

  3. Shortcuts: ability to shift all or initialize all values (press the yellow info (i) button on the top right corner to show all included shortcuts)

Randomizer:

  1. Fine Tune Randomization Control: ability to set min/max or amount (press the blue (i) button and view page 1 to see details on each slider shortcut)

  2. Randomization: ability to randomize the Pitch, Length, Velocity, Octave, Mod and Gate based on a selected range and different algorithms (press the blue (i) button and view page 3 to see details on each algorithm)

  3. Auto Randomization: auto randomize values on a set rate to generate new sequences

  4. Set Values To All: easily set all values of note property, mod or gate via one parameter (press the blue (i) button and view page 2 to see details on the layout)

Counter:

  1. Count Non Linearly: ability to specify counting in different increments to allow ranges outside of just 16 steps

  2. Increment Counting: set looping mechanism within the 16 step sequencer to increment based on the counting range and the specified ‘# of repeats’

  3. Wrap/Fold Notes: allows for notes to either wrap or fold depending on the selected count to range

AS Width: a response to the need of a non audio altering stereo effect within Ableton - it’s a synthetic stereo generator that creates stereo information through a series of complex routed delays rather than altering the actual audio signal
