Hi,
Following the Pd Berlin meeting last Tuesday, the guys encouraged me to share my patches.
Here are my step sequencers for Pd vanilla. With a bit of imagination they can be used for many things other than beat/drum patterns. In the example patches you can see one used as a metro to drive the other sequencers which can lead to interesting groove/swing/shuffle sounds. Also to repetitively control parameters like filter cutoff/pitch/LFO rate/effects on synthesizers too. Connect them to each other to create conditionally generative randomness. All these methods are employed in the example patches.

Feedback welcome of course but I'm afraid they're supplied as is for you to use and abuse. I doubt I'll have the time to update/document them properly!
Cheers,
John Flynn.
