SEQUENCER
Click a lit note to erase it. Select a velocity, then click or drag empty cells to paint. Cell brightness = velocity, nudge = timing offset.
HOW THIS CAME ABOUT
Groove Dice started with a question: could the rhythmic logic in Attack Magazine’s Beat Dissected series become an instrument instead of another folder of reference material? I wanted a quick way to roll a pattern, hear why it worked, and then pull it apart through density, feel, timing, velocity, and individual notes.
I built the instrument with Clarence, my AI system, using the OX Alpha model for implementation while I made the musical and interaction decisions. The first versions repeated themselves, ignored controls, cached the wrong build, and occasionally refused to let me edit while the beat was playing.
It is still an experiment, but it is one I can use.
