Drum Muse v1.21 by Laserbulb Sound

This is a Max For Live device for use in Ableton Live.

Drum Muse is a MIDI drum sequencer designed to inspire and create unique rhythmic patterns that no human would have thought of on their own. It features six sequencer tracks, each with individual length, rate, and loop settings ideal for making long, evolving, poly-rhythmic patterns. 

This device uses an atypical counting mechanism which allows it to move through the steps of its sequences in a variety of ways. Each track uses a preliminary counting loop to step through its sequence in variable increments forward, backward, or forward/backward. This loop can then be set to "jump" forward a number of steps after a selectable number of repetitions. 

Features:

- Six velocity capable sequence lanes

- Each track has independent randomize buttons for the step grid and velocity sliders.

- Per-track pattern/loop length and rate settings 

- Solo and mutes for each track

- Individual and entire pattern quantized reset buttons

-"Auto Reset" to force all six sequencers back to step 1 after a selectable number of bars

-Individual swing amounts for all six tracks that can be scaled globally.

-Midi transpose mode allows midi input to transpose all six tracks for use as a melodic sequencer

-Midi thru mode allows clip or controller midi to be merged with the Drum Muse output

-20 recallable preset patterns per instance

-All features other than preset buttons and step grid are automatable and midi mappable. (Hoping to eventually make presets mappable in future versions)

New in Version1.2:

- Each track now has a "Dice" icon for randomizing the step grid.

- Velocity sequences can also be randomized independently of the step grid.

- Added a "Link" button to the swing section so that the swing amount for all six tracks can be adjusted simultaneously.

Version 1.21 update: 

- Fixed bug where the Dice icon for Drum 6's step grid was randomizing drum 5's steps.

Thanks to Gregory Taylor and his book "Step by Step - Adventures in Sequencing with Max/MSP." I used one of his lessons as a starting point for this device.
