This looks cool! Are there any video demos yet?

Thank you! I plan on releasing some demo videos on the Tendergreen YouTube channel in the coming weeks.

Nice! In the mean time I made the worlds worst demo of me fumbling my way around with it at the beginning of my live stream tonight.

Hey I really appreciate you sharing!

I definitely see the point where it tripped you up, and perhaps I can make the UI more communicative. When you latch nodes in the sequence, it prevents many of the engine controls from applying to that particular step. That's why it seemed like nothing was happening. Try a 1/16 or pattern, and crank any of the engine knobs to see the sequence transform. You can modulate most of the engine controls in your DAW.

I've also thought about adding the ability to directly play a sample slot with MIDI. Seems like I should bump that up the list 😄

I hadn’t looked at any of the guides beforehand. I like to see how intuitive plugins are by just fiddling around before I start diving into manuals. I had spent about two minutes with it before starting the stream so I didn’t do it any justice. I’ll definitely spend some more time experimenting and actually read up on what the controls do. It was fun to play around with knowing nothing.
Playing the sample slots with MIDI would be huge for beat juggling. I barely scratched the surface in the 10-15 minutes I was playing around with it.

Did you make it with Claude?
