Possible to create a Step Sequencer Plugin

[tshoats]

Hey guys I was wondering if its
possible to create a step sequencer plugin? Are there any javascript calls to use for precise timing for step sequencers?? Thanks

Yes it's very much possible. The timer callback is your friend here.

Yes, as David said, this is possible. However, HISE doesn't support compiling MIDI FX plugins (so MIDI In -> Processing -> MIDI Out) in case you want to create a "standalone" step sequencer and not embed it in a instrument built with HISE.

Thanks david. Chris so does this mean I cant create a plugin and the step sequencer has to be standalone?

[Christoph Hart]

No it means that if you want to create a MIDI FX that is used to control other plugins, you'll need to look for a different solution because HISE does currently not offer creating MIDI to MIDI plugins.

But if you want a step sequencer to be part of the VSTi / AUi you'll build with HISE, then everything should work OK.

It would actually be nice if (like Kontakt) HISE had a "send MIDI data out" option...not a showstopper, but nice.
