Has anyone thought about making some kind of Markov Chain sequencer for tracks? Whether it’s for the Digitone, Syntakt, Octatrack, or something else is beside the point.
My idea is to select a step and then use the keys to assign a probability to each of the other 16 steps (at least), defining the likelihood of the sequence moving from the currently selected step to next step based on its set probability.
Basically, it would be a controllable version of the random direction mode that already exists for the Octatrack, but with the ability to set the probability for each individual step. Each step would store its own probability values for all 16 possible next steps.
Do you think there would be enough memory available to implement something like this? Maybe even for the song mode?
