I’m really intrigued by this notion of having the notes drive the sequencer rather that the sequencer driving the notes.
Your regular sequencer- 1 step means 1/16th note regardless of what’s plugged in there. However, I don’t want to move to the next step of the sequence until the end of the previous notes duration.
Either that, or I just want to send pause midi messages based on a single midi sequence sent to the device.
Esoteric question, I know. I appreciate anything anybody can point me to
I don’t know what Node is, and an uninspired, early morning Google search on my commute didn’t yield any meaningful results. Maybe a link would help people understand the concept you’re trying to replicate?
You probably didn’t find anything because I got the F*#!king name wrong
In nodal, per the links, a note is triggered based on the distance between the nodes. While this allots the user more control over how things are performed- the environment is kinda a pain for composing in and I just want the stricker control of the inverse sequencer concept.
Also, I’d prefer to stay in Ableton-land instead of outsourcing all of my sequencing to a mess of a pool.
Btw, good idea about including the links. Thank you
I don’t know of a device that specifically does these things but they seem relatively easy to create with a little Max knowledge.
Sounds to me like it’s time to dive into learning Max 
It’s really not that difficult, it just looks like it on the surface. Once you have the basics down, it’s all about how to creatively use the objects that are available to your ends.
You don’t need any special books. Just walking through the tutorials that are built into Max will get you moving.
I have a lot going on so I don’t have time to make these devices or I would. Every project is a learning experience and a chance to build a better library of abstractions to use.
Looks very interesting! Gotta try Nodal when I find the time.
Never seen anything that works similar, but I immediately thought about those stage driven sequencers (Roland/Ryk M185, Intellijel Metropolis, Faderfox SC4, there are also a few M4L devices). Not near as flexible, but a refreshingly different way of working compared to pattern based step sequencers.
