a second pair of Midi-IO, to controll a second device (for example triggermatrix), and a switch or Button-Combination - to switch between the ports, and switch between the 2 Matrix-Arrays to visualize them
(the 2 modes are always up to date, they write the incoming midi notes in the Arrays, also when we are in a other mode, when we go in the other mode, the arrays are dumped out to the leds…)
my wish is a stripped down 32bit c-version for the 32bit cores (i know xmas is over…) to study & work with…

Could be wrong, but I think this is already possible by using the MIDI router inside the SEQ. You would still need an app on the other end to work with the BLM MIDI notes. It’s a cool idea to re-purpose the matrix though!
I’m having lots of fun with my BLM. So much fun, I actually ask myself if I ever will put my SEQ with the wilba CS in a case because I use only a few buttons and functions (mostly for configuration).
In the urge of having more control over the SEQ via the BLM I said “hello to my hackable device” and implemented these few lines in SEQ_BLM_ButtonCallback to access the parameter layers:
.... case BLM\_SCALAR\_MASTER\_ELEMENT\_EXTRA\_ROW: { if( blm\_shift\_active || blm\_alt\_active ) { // no function yet (actually I added a function) if( !button\_depressed ) { u8 new\_parameter = button\_x; ui\_selected\_par\_layer = new\_parameter; BLM\_SCALAR\_MASTER\_ForceDisplayUpdate(0); } return 1; // MIDI event has been taken } ....
But I’m really just a hacker and have no real experience in programming.
It works so far but I’m aware that it needs more refinement. Adding trigger layers, led feedback etc.
I thought it might be worth getting implemented. Any thoughts?
I have a 4L and have been using the juice BLM as a faster more accurate way to input notes. It would be really handy to have a horizontal zoom feature. If the bar display at the bottom were clickable. No boxes =100% zoom and the grid is in its normal current mode displaying 16 1/4 notes. One box lit and you get 200% zoom and you get 16 1/16 notes of the section of the bar you have selected displayed. Selecting two consecutive boxes for 150% zoom to get 16 1/8 notes on the grid of the two adjoining boxes of the bar selected. Maybe there is already a way to do this but all I have been able to come up with in the manual and forums is using a full seq version 4 to set note length with the jog wheel or possibly manually recording in the sequence either from software or another midi device.
How are we going with shifting views on on the y axis? It’s okay to view just 16 notes, but I find it restricts the usage, especially when using a “polyphonic” track.
Perhaps an additional idea: currently the encoder moves just one note up or down when a polyphonic track is enabled. Could the step encoder instead shift the whole shape by semitones?
