The sequencer

This sequencer was created to serve two purposes.

The first was a transition from a similar sequencing patch, developed for Max/MSP. The patch used in Max/MSP was developed to facilitate the use of the qlist object. In Max/MSP the use of qlist is rather well documented, and the patch that was developed for it serves it purpose rather gracefully. An updated version of the patch exists somewhere out there, with only a couple of minor fixes.

The second was a personal quest to create a qlist based sequencer that would be easy to use. This quest served as a starting point to learn more about the differences between the languages at the time (Max 8 and PD Vanilla 0.5). This endeavour proved very useful, as it allowed for a detailed exploration of the functions of each item used.

Needless to say, that not all findings will be documented in this particular wiki. Some may be found elsewhere, or, perhaps, in a future wiki.
