Sequencing
Part of sequencing is arp - and one hell of a good one is Architec - sequencing in Architect - Enter..But arp also need modulation in sync w/ midi - that is where sequencing in BW rulez..
However, some Curves has to be done outiside the BW - BW does not f. e. have proper function grapher etc. That is why Curvatures for modulation incubator is here - enter.
Scale and time breaker
It is arp that: goes in any note length ratio (you can also use decimals etc.) and any frequency. Both can be further altered w/ log or other functions that is now hardly possible anywhere else - ODDSOUND can come close in some aspect, but I think it does not have polynimial and ohter fnction etc.). The function can be fruther use for modulation and or curves in ADSR.
Since it runs in Phase, you can easily prolong, pause or shorten Phase in live jamming to enhace setting since phase is basically treated as bar.
MIDI can be exported! And it does not leave first step empty like Architect usually do.))
You can ofcouse combine more phases for different tracks. Change of phase and timing will also project into modulation if desired, or only some modulations that serves rather like automations...
Nother cool thing is, that notes are in blocks that can combines: In here in Prelude each arp is repeated 4x, so you do not have to write midi 4x just set it to repeat. But you it does not have to repeat 100 % identicaly as you can seee in preset, that each arp block has different polynomial fnct.

- fnction controls not only frequency, but time also time domain - in construction...
- I think this is where Architect, programing shines, it can go up the signal stream, or can process all shape, not only point in time...
- as u can, it is devided into 4 parts, 1 quarter is running in fnct y = x^1.46, 2q: 0.72 - so, first q. is runing faster than slowdown and 2q - yes, you got it..

- fixes: - Zebra has range +/- 50. If one needed values like 1285, he would get only 1250. One can see in last preset, that you can solve this by using ranges, but damn more easier on cpu is using round module (as you can see here). In the end one can see, that processing is damn precise (but also damn CPU hungry)... it really work, tough for pure musical stuff Oddsound is for sure better..
- because sounds overtones are generally multiplying 2x, log equation can not continue above one octave.
But - Rule no1 of any failed composer - use all disadvantages to your advantage: if you realized how log function work, you have a lot to play with - see Scale etudy. Point here is not to show, that old rules are useless, but based on them, create other forms for composing..
Here in left is chosen lenght, that is displayed in oscilloscope and than on right is chosen note. This is than send up - see pic bellow)). All bar/ Phase can be twisted in Polynomial part in top center, but better would be chose/ jam lenght by function in the first place - but I still duno how yet..))
As you can see it tested on Bach´s first bars of firs Prelude (notes bellow) .
Here the note is given ratio, that ratio is used as offset from equal tempering (top, or right bellow as other log functions) and than with round module on right make it usable for synth - output on right top..
.
Here some fnction is prepared for use...

Scale breaker - Tester (9. 2021) - Download - it shows that it can work, but there were still issues. (I am using BW so if I say issues, they are really isues * no kidding here)
Sequencing in Architec on KVR
On KVR - some history..
Issue w/ Prelude
Or why Gate is not used..
In Architect I was struggling with limitation in arrays etc. on just integers (No Float values), multiply/ devide step values are limited to 24, no modulation of cents and hard to combine MIDI with modulation/ automation.
In the Grid steps are also define by Phase - log and polynomial functions and everything is displayed - so you can easily jam and also used this to modulate other parameters..
Gate stepmodule colud be either T (Transpor) - so only half of the step is playing, or G (gate) but than all steps with no empty step in between tie.
Only workaround I know about is to use Tmode and Note Length device, but it was not precise. You can not use note lenght per se for ratios to much, cause it is fixed to 16th notes (u can converted it - multiply 16 - but it is still cumbersome) and using tenths of ms is not precise and f. e. in 87 BPM 1/16 is 172.4137931034483 ms, in two bars this would put specialy percusive sounds, but main truble maker is here modulation delay - usualy in my case about 6ms but could jump to even 20 ms.
On Bach´s Prelude I failed to make Gate work, while as you can see it works in select/ trigger way..
As you can see, Tmode hold Gate only half of the time and looks to me like there is too much hassles to get thru this for just a little bit complex notes (like 7/16) and when one start to jam, it goes pretty easily heywire. Better is start from scratch different way than trying to modulate timing of module by ohter modules (or even itself - which since there is no memory module like in Architect is I think impossible):
