«Keyboard phrase recorder and Pattern Array printer» by Frank Bonarrigo
on 10 Jul'24 08:12 inOne of 2 Keyboards, The other will play a sample. This is one with a standard default Synth. Activating the Keyboard button allows you to play the keyboard with your computer Keyboard (Mac, not sure if Windows works). Number buttons change octaves. Start Time Capture records little phrases including Chords. Just copy paste your degree array and dur array into your Pattern setup . Do math in the array to make it work with your Key. It is setup for the Chromatic scale.
