ASCIISTEP16 compatibility (stepsequencer mode)

[coderofsalvation]

An implementation of the ASCIISTEP16-standard, which allows pckeyboards to act as an Ableton push-like (gridsequencer). In the screencapture below, I'm holding shift and pressing 'Q', 'T', 'A', 'G' to turn on/off kickdrum, hihat etc:

• stepmode activated when keyjazzing while holding shift
• CTRL/SHIFT + numerical keys for channelmutes/channelselect
• the spacing between steps can be controlled by modifying the secondaryRowHighlight-value in Settings (layout-tab).
• smart-moving-window: patterneditor detects if pattern exceeds steplength (& jumps to next bar inside the same pattern).

What is ASCIISTEP16?

It's a pckeyboard standard & translation of popular hardware 16-step drum/midisequencers (electribe MX, electribe SX, mc303, tr909,tr808, mc707, arturia beatstep). Basically it's a popular way of muting/unmuting notes:

Usecases:

• liveperformance
• cursor-less composing of drumpatterns
