[PD] [Solved] Store some lists with undo function? / MPC Drum Sequencer

[JF]

I've made a demo patch that will store some arbitrary lists (although I've only tested 

it with note-on note-off pairs) with the ability to undo the last list entered. I went back 

to vanilla [textfile] as [coll] and [msgfile] didn't really provide an advantage (that I 

could patch! Not saying much).


The patch works as a kind of MIDI loop recorder using the Z key as a kind of drum 

pad to play a kick drum. The C key performs an undo on the last note recorded and 

the X key performs a kind of MPC style note erase function (erase notes at the 

current time).

Thanks to Joe White for the idea of using an index to keep track of the number of 

lists being held.

Would love to hear of any improvements if anyone has the time to look!?


The main mechanism of the patch is rather ugly. It relies on constantly flushing the 

entire textfile contents and searching for a match each time.

Thanks in advance,
John.
