Molten Sequencer

Molten Sequencer is a MIDI step sequencer for Mac OS X that makes editing of tuplets and polyrhythms a breaze.

Below is a screen shot showing what the application and sequencer looks like after adding and dividing notes.

Presented as a traditional grid like step sequencer and spanning 2 bars, notes can by quickly added on each beat or step by double clicking with the mouse.

To facilitiate tuplets and polyrythms each grid square may be sub-divided to give more steps. Whereas a conventional step sequencer would show 32 steps over 2 bars, Molten is more dynamic. Starting with 8 steps or 4 beats per bar, each step may be divided up to 9 times for a total of 72 steps.

Basic operation:
* Click on a grid square and press the number keys 1 to 9 to divide the beat.
* Click on a note and press the number keys 1 to 9 to divide the note.
* Click on a note and drag up and down to change the note's velocity.
* Use Option + number key to divide and insert notes.
* Use Control + number key to clear existing notes and divide the grid.

Refer to the Forum for more detailed operation including sync-ing with external gear and Logic.

Basic operation of Audio Unit:
* Unlike the standalone application there is no keyboard input.
* To change the values of the subdivisions, drag up/down over the value.
* To delete notes use Control + click.
* When changing the subdivision value use Control + click to remove notes and divide the cell.
* Use Option + click to add notes and divide the cell.

Each row represents a note starting with C1 on the bottom row and spanning 2 octaves with controls for mute, solo and trigger.
