Certainty - Visually show patterns for each seed #5

Open benjiao opened 11 months ago

Hey @awonak,

It would be nice if there was a way to see which steps of a pattern were ON. Maybe mark the OFF ones as dots instead of squares them with a dot inside the squares ? This should make the seeds much more browseable, even without any voice plugged into it.

I like the idea of a "seed library". I wonder if there's a good way of showing the generated sequences for a given seed? I think the challenge is that there are 6 channels with up to 32 steps. That's a max of 192 trigger states to display! Perhaps I can find a few suggested seeds to display in a README? Or somehow make it easy to share good seeds with other folks.

I think the main goal here is to think about how to make seeds more browseable or discoverable. Let me think about that some more.

Ohh you're right, I totally forgot about the 5 other channels. 😅 You could probably let the user pick which channel to view through the menu

Braille!! One pixel for each, maybe?

This would be a major code refactor, or possibly a whole new firmware, but we could use braille as input for A-RYTH-MATIK trigger sequences! I love this idea, I think I'm going to make a new Braille firmware... Awesome suggestion!
