Beatrmatrix Arduino Based Step Sequencer

video upload by beatrmatrix

"This is an Arduino based 16 step sample sequencer, it uses usb serial to communicate with max4live. Currently you can use 8 different samples and you can have 3 patterns (I will increase these things). It's also possible to combine two patterns, that basically turns the device into a 32 step sequencer. Currently I'm working on a new feature, with that users will be able to launch Ableton clips with this device too."

"Introducing our Ableton-compatible step sequencer! This innovative device features a USB-C port, 19 hardware buttons, and the price the includes an Arduino Nano too (not the original Arduino). It communicates seamlessly with Max4Live via serial communication. What sets it apart is its versatility; if you're familiar with Max, you can easily modify the official patch and create new functions. Plus, the price includes the official patch I've designed for it.

Key Features:

Currently supports 8 different MIDI sounds, capable of triggering various drums or samples loaded into a drum rack. Create and switch between 3 distinct patterns effortlessly. Each pattern consists of 16 steps, and you can even link two patterns to achieve a 32-step sequencer. Adjustable tempo, allowing for halving the speed, ideal for using longer samples. Visual feedback provided by RGB (ws2812b) LEDs, indicating the positions of MIDI sounds and steps. Dedicated buttons for placing individual sounds or samples on each step. Compact at under 0.5cm tall, 12.8cm long, and 8cm wide, elevate your music production game with this Ableton step sequencer, offering flexibility, creativity, and a seamless Max4Live integration."
