I would like to control the step direction of an Analog Sequencer with the following !hot options:

left to right
right to left
both (left to right to left etc.)
random (I will use code here to determine how often the random changes occur, related to beat subdivisions)

How can I achieve this? Thanks!

I have tried using a negative Rate value, but that doesn't seem to work, same with Step. I tried using some code in the StartIndex and EndIndex fields:

StartIndex
!Direction of: #( 0 15 )

EndIndex
!Direction of: #( 15 0 )

But that doesn't work when the index is reversed, as the sequencer only plays the last value repetitively.

I also tried a negative value for Durations and that seems to hold the note indefinitely. It seems to me like an important function for a sequencer to be able to change direction on the fly. Is this going to be possible to achieve?

Thanks!

Jack

I changed AnalogSequencer to interpret negative Rate values as a change in direction through the sequences. In this new version, you can use an expression such as:

(!BPM / 60) * (!BPM bpm s random sign)

to get a random change in direction that is synchronized with BPM.

Stay tuned for the next update (6.41) on the tweaky.

Any news on the 6.41 update with this sequencer direction switch? Right now, this would be VERY useful!
