new free MIDI-Stepsequencer plugin

[BlackWinny]

Even the number of each step is already too small for a person having a good eyesight... And you think to make it yet smaller???

Not smaller in the way it is now, but a different design, where note, velocity, length and mute are in seperate lines of 16, and each row is independend in speed and length...
(has to fit on a notebook screen though - not everyone uses 1920px screens....)

Almost all the notebooks today are 1600 px width.

There were developers at the DC14 that could not find the "binary upload" button at the right side of the KVR screen

So in my opinion it is them who have a problem, because the KVR pages are developed to stand full in a width of 1007 px. It allows the full readability of KVR in screens having 1024 px of width resolution.

Great plugin, WOK! DO you plan on developing a 64-bit version? Thanks.

It's not so much about what WOK plans, but what SynthEdit allows

So, if you want to fit more steps on the screen, why do you use those wide dials? Wouldn't a vertical slider make more sense?

Got it, he uses SynthEdit to make the plugins. Thanks!

I agree with you Fluffy!

And it would allow a far better global view of the melody at a glance! The view of a line going up and down with the time in abscissa and the note in ordinate like in a piano-roll allows an immediate sight of the flaws in a melody programmed with a step-sequencer.

TubeOhm has a pretty capable monophonic and polyphonic step sequencer, which looks like this:

Chris Kerry's step sequencer is simpler, yet flexible, thanks to the playlist one can make entire songs with it, especially in connection with a drum rompler it becomes a regular drum machine

This one is a model of what should be done (except perhaps the width a few small)!

It is very readable:

1. The colors are correctly chosen for a good contrast
2. The curse of time is in abscissa and the notes in ordinates
3. The polyphony is managed very well for the eyes and instantaneously deciphered
4. In case of complex rhythm it is readable in the mind too
5. One knows immediately at a glance what is wrong in the sequence or in the rhythm
6. And all the common parameters are displayed in permanence (at the right side and at the bottom)!

It's a model! It is something like that which would be a very good inspiration for you, Wok, to design with a nice GUI, modern but very readable and very wide! You could have a GUI of 1000 pixels in width nowadays!

Everybody has at least 1280 pixels and the "common standard" since 2010 is even 1600. It's terrible that so few developers of software synths are in the common standards of today concerning the size of their plugins. The standards being by default 1280 and 1600 (and very few persons change it, of course, since it is perfect for everything)... all the GUI's which today are under 1000 pixels of width are minuscule!

Not this one (too many 3rd party modules inside).But I want to redo Clockwork as a bigger version in a way to use Synthedit 64. But this will take time.
