form!matter

Form, without matter. A drum-sequencer for monome norns and grid.

Supports N.B. et al.

Four tracks. 96 ppqn. Full access to every substep. Edit steps in time on the grid or program each substep as desired. Play unquantized. Multiple flavours of entropy on tap. Audio-rate fills. Can genereate a large amount of notes rapidly. Adjust speed limit to achieve desired level of downstream stability.

form!matter strives to be entropically inclusive.

• 2.0.1: Patterns can also store rec, mute and loop state. Added params to load an initial pattern and control what is loaded with each pattern. Pattern bank is displayed when select is held.
• 2.0: Rewrite, added modules for sanity. Pattern management on grid, patterns are persistent, edit note/vel/dur. Probably breaks patterns from earlier versions.

Note: Best installed from the project manager in maiden, change folder name to "form!matter" if using ;install...

Controls: note: some functions cover several buttons "shift 1/3" means hold any 1 of 3 shift-buttons K1: hold to toggle note mode K2: play/pause K3: reset ``` E1: tempo

normal mode: E2 cw: add random notes every step E3 cw: add random notes anywhere E2/3 ccw: remove notes last first

note mode: E2: edit note E2 + shift 1/3: edit velocity E2 + shift 2/3: edit duration E3: scroll through active steps sequence: toggle notes substeps: toggle substeps rec 1-4: disengates controls from track, plays, but does not write mute 1-4: mute sequence, play is still possible. trig 1-4: play note, write if rec is enabled. trig 1-4 + clear: clear notes trig 1-4 + fill: fill track at rates set by ammount of fill held loop 1/3 + sequence: loops held step, either one or several in order loop 2/3 + sequence: sets loop points for single track. press above or below for single step loop 3/3 + sequence: sets loop points for all tracks. press above or below for single step shift (both modes): shift shift 1/3 (note mode): edit velocity shift 2/3 (note mode): edit duration fill 1-6/8: hold to set fillrate play: play/pause play + shift: toggle playback direction reset: reset select: choose step and substep(s) to edit clear + shift 1/3: clear sequence clear + shift 2/3: clear sequence, reset rec and mute clear + shift 3/3: clear sequence, reset rec, mute and loops clear + sequence: clear steps clear + substeps: clear substeps pattern 1-4: load pattern pattern 1-4 + shift: save pattern pattern 1-4 + clear: clear pattern pattern 1-4 + select: pattern bank ```

Pattern: Each pattern is saved in its own file called pattern_slot_num_bank_num in data/form!matter. Back up by copying them elsewhere.
