Command Sequencer

there is a "continuous play" philosophy in fxbox, for some basic live sequencing techniques, bank swapping and reloading on the fly shouldn't interfere with playback and everything stays in time. there is a command sequencer that runs on the time divisions, there is a menu option Utilities >> Load Sequence and command SEQ {filename}. sequences are like a macro, but have multiple commands on each line, the commas and the line spaces are required. this one will loop forever if its filename is FLIP.ASC as it will keep loading and stageing itself.

M=1,D=8,B=1,


B=2,

B=1,

B=2,
B=1,


B=2,


B=1,

B=2,

B=1,
B=2,



SEQ FLIP.ASC,

the sequencer is constantly running and sequences can be loaded on the fly, a quantization feature can stage keyboard input on the time divisions merging with active sequences - turn debug on to watch it working - i have more thinking to do on how this is visually represented.

recording to disk works.

it does "function" on an unexpanded a500 from floppy, but it is not recommended lol. a later version will cache the sequences and visualize it all somehow, at the moment if you use a SEQ command in a sequence it will load from disk each time - floppy cannot keep up. there are some more options- "quantizer" and "always draw". if you want these features to work it is advised running on a powerful machine.
