An addon by MoebiusSurfing, 2020. Kind of beta state but I decided to make it public. Please post issues or problems to solve that I'll reply. Thanks to developers of all the other addons used, of course. Specially: @genekogan for https://github.com/genekogan/ofxSequencer @npisanti for https://github.com/npisanti/ofxGuiPresetSelector @castovoid for https://github.com/castovoid/ofxDawMetro @frauzufall for https://github.com/frauzufall/ofxGuiExtended @transat for GUI theme

TODO:

• Repair BUG original from ofxSequencer where sometimes mouse-clicks are ignored. Any help is welcome!
• Allow resize pattern step sizes and note amount. (Now is fixed to 12 notes and 16 beats)
• Improve ofxSequencer integration. I used a lot of workarounds to avoid all my big-skills-limitations. Any help is welcome!
• Add not only bang/bool types like int or float as the original ofxSequencer can handle. Any help is welcome!
• Some OSC in/out control.
• Repair little BUG that create some rare xml files into presets folder.
