So, here is Sequins!
This is a patch that I have been working on from the very beginning of my Usine adventure. It was in fact the reason I picked up Usine in the first place. I was originally calling it 'Battery Machine' in a play on the popular NI products, but its potential feels too great to give it a gimmick for a name.
I've rigged it up to an LPD8 before, so the potential is there. However, I wanted to stop procrastinating and get this into the hands of the people! Look for LPD8, Launchpad, and even an LXR-specific versions in the future.
From the add-on page description:
[q]Sequins is a MIDI sequencer. It was designed with drum programming in mind, but can in fact be used for any MIDI sequencing desires thanks to its flexible note length option.
This patch has 4 sequencing lanes, but one can easily change the number of polyphonic voices on the 'sequins core' sub-patch.
Each lane has 32 triggers, a step sequencer for velocity, and two step sequencers for modulation (they emit from 0 to 1 so that they work seamlessly with controlling VST parameters). Each step sequencer can have independent minimum, maximum, and default values and comes with a reset button that will reset to the default value without resetting the triggers. Each lane also has a 'global' reset that will clear all the sequencing data. The note value, MIDI channel, and synchro can also be set independently.
Sequins uses a custom method to save and recall patterns (rather than the default preset management system in Usine). The current pattern is saved immediately upon the selection of a new pattern. The new pattern will load at the beginning of the next 'synchro'[/q]

Here is what it looks like before you attach it to a MIDI device/VST.
