CV sequencer automation
Seems like it is not possible. Has it been discussed? Got me to wonder which other modules lack support for full automation recording.
There are some nice patchstorage patches that makes use of the cv sequencer as a playable area. I was thinking it would be nice to record it as automation into different clips.

graphic shaper and gate sequencer also do not support any automation or plocking. One workaround is to use multiple modules and then switch between them.
Here’s a visual example of what @bcrichards describes in regards to multiple graphic shapers selectable by slider.
Automating or p-locking the slider will give you what you need also
the advantage is that we can have our own custom shaped waveforms.
I see, I can see that approach being useful in many contexts.
I was thinking of the 4t-Rythm and 4t-Arp patches, which encourage live playing on the cv sequencer itself. With 4 steps, it could be reworked using 4 sliders, achieving the p-locking, but perhaps it is better (more natural) to just play on the cv-seq and record the midi directly.
@bleep
The other thing you could is make your own CV step sequencer in dRambo and a automate that.
If the individual steps in the gate sequencer cold also be controlled by midi cc it would open up a whole new range of sequenced possibilities.
As gravitas mentioned you can indeed build your own sequencer with a switch clocked to move through steps, and knobs as individual inputs to the switch. As you can modulate, p lock, and automate knobs, you can change the sequence in many ways.
heres a really rudimentary one

@bcrichards how'd you get the knobs module to have 4 knobs per row? Mine always does 3.

@Johnisfaster go into the settings for the Knobs module and you should “Knobs in column”.
Change it from 3 to 4.
Ha of course. Thanks.
Hello Drambo community!
I have build a very basic CV sequencer based on the examples found in this thread.
But I would like it to behave like the GATE+VELOCITY sequencer, so when a slider in the graph is not equal to zero, a gate is generated
For now, it looks like this :
Would it be possible to generate GATES only when knobs are not equal to zero?
Thanks a lot for your help!
I think you can build that with the math AND-module. Connect your clock to one input, the CV, that can be 0 to the other and use the output of that to your Notar-Generator.
Not sure off the top of my head, if you have to get the CV to be either 1 or zero. If so a graphic shaper with a shape like a square wave (left 0, right 1) can do that (there sure are other options).
@tyslothrop1 Thanks for your reply tyslothrop1!
I'm sorry, I have difficulty to figure out your explanations.
By "Connect your clock" do you mean that I shoud add a Clock generator to my patch?
I'm asking because I tought that would maybe make sense to use a clock generator to be able to generate Gates synched with the clock pulses when CV knobs does not equal to 0.
But then, I don't understand how to use the AND module.
Sorry for my misunderstanding.
Hey, no problem, a clock generator is a valid option, but I meant whatever you can use to clock your patch. The gate&velocity seq, you already had in your patch would work just as well as an LFO or any cv source that more or less alternates between 0 and 1.
Then you connect the output of your clock to one input on the AND. Then you run your pitch=cv through something that makes the output 1, whenever it’s not 0. In my previous post I wrote a a square shape in the graphic shaper does that, but that’s not true. If it’s symmetrical it would only turn 0.5 and up to 1and everything below to 0. So the shape must have the tiniest possible amount of 0 all the way to the left and 1 the rest of the way.
what the AND does is send out 1, whenever both inputs are 1 and 0 when that’s not the case, so when your knob is at zero, no gate is send.
hope this makes more sense (:
Yes it does make a lot of sense!
It works!
Thank you very much for your time and clear explanation tyslothrop1!
Cool, cheers(:
