Oh yes, plenty of control stuff to be done for emebedded computer thingies. And I'll push noone anywhere Laughing

Fiddled a bit with it .. and came to the conclusion that 16 steps can work alright provided that the gain and offset controls for the VC input work exponentially.

That way you only need as many steps as there are steps in the sequencer .. and you can then set the offset to the step the effect should start on and the gain to the range of steps it should work on.

In code this is easy to do, in pseudo code something like:

Code:

uintX_t function GrayCode( uintX_t aValue)
{
  return aValue ^ ( aValue >> 1);
}

Pattern = pattern_input / voltage_range;
Start = 1 << ( stepcount * offset_input / voltage_range);
Length = 1 << (stepcount * gain_input / voltage_range);
Pattern = GrayCode( Start + Length * Pattern); 


still for your setup you would need a 16 bit ADC for 16 steps .. that's not a very handy thing to need in a mixed analog / digital setup .. even when using a processor as most processors will only have 10 or 12 bit ADCs built in.

But it still could be useful for a shorter sequencer too, to make it easier for the user to set the effect range.

Oh and also - it is a very nice sequencer! Cool
