Patchwork

monobright grid edit

Patchwork is a dual function sequencer for monome norns, crow and grid. Each sequence has both a note pattern and a command pattern. A command fires when the sequence reaches its position. Commands manipulate the sequences. Think octave and position jumping, direction changes, new notes, sequence syncing, etc.

The grid has two modes: NOTES and COMMANDS (you'll see an indication of what mode you're in on norns' screen). Use the former to edit your note pattern, the latter to edit your command pattern.

To drive the sequences, send triggers into crow's inputs. For output, you have two options (selectable from the PARAMS menu): ^^ outs (2 v/oct + trig pairs) or jf ii 1+2. If using the latter, make sure crow is connected to Just Friends via i2c.
