CV option for sequencers with notes? #4

Open joefiorini opened 1 year ago

joefiorini commented 1 year ago

It would be great if the modules in Rainbows that include notes/scales would have a CV option as well. I like to run my pitches through quantizers that give me uneven temperament scales so I tend not to use the standard scales included. Is this a possibility?

It would be nice to have an option to randomize this along with the rest of the randomize options. Think that's possible?

I would also like this feature - I love the sequencers and it would be amazing to be able to sequence root note and scale changes using cv inputs

@tinyrobot thanks for the feedback. I've worked with Joe to get the functionality he asked for, but I think it is different than what you are asking for.

What I built for him is the ability to enter cent value for each step. This allows for the microtoality he asked for. It's that what you are looking for?

What you asked for sounds different to me. If you simple want to CV control the scale and root note you could set the scale to chromatic and then use an external scale module that has cv controls for that. Would that achieve what you are looking for?

Let me know what you think. I want to make sure I understand what you are asking for so if I build something it achieves what you want.

Thanks @patheros - yes you're correct, the request was separate cv control for both scale and the root note, so I could sequence key changes for example. I have actually achieved what I needed to do using https://library.vcvrack.com/Stoermelder-P1/EightFace and I could also use an external scale quantizer as you mentioned to achieve the same thing.

The main reason for the request was that I often use a path set sequencer as a central part of patches to drive various voices, so it would be convenient to be able to change the root note and the scale without other modules involved - however I do understand that there's limited space for adding more controls, and I can achieve this in other ways, so I'm happy to do that instead. Thanks again for the great modules!

@tinyrobot That makes sense.

I made a separate ticket #8 for your requests since its different than Joe's original request.
