A moving light step sequencer with 8, 16 or 32 Steps, unlimited tracks, using your own samples and MIDI or VSTI instruments for each track and controlled via hardware? With the plugin "Lauflicht Step Sequencer" for Renoise and your Novation Launchpad this comes to reality.

A Step Sequencer is an intuitive, fast and fun possibility of editing a song. It is especially for live purposes and beat creation an excellent tool.

The "Lauflicht Step Sequencer" is a moving light, multitrack and multitimbral step sequencer and has 8, 16 or 32 steps. In playmode, the moving light indicates which step is currently playing. It is possible to edit the pattern while playing, you can even load a new pattern and it is loaded into the Step Sequencer plugin automatically.
For every track you can assign one instrument. It can be a sample, a vsti instrument, a midi instrument or a sample bank of your choice. You can insert a note of an instrument into the appropriate track by pressing a button on the Launchpad - pressing it twice will remove the note again. In the plugin you can configurate velocity, length, delay and of course the note value of the note to insert. You can even insert a chord (up to three notes) with just pressing one button. With the variable note resolution you can insert notes at every position of the pattern (e.g. 1/2, 1/8, 1/16) and have a detailed view (high resolution) or compact view (low resolution, showing e.g. every 4th step only) of the pattern.
With the Lauflicht Step Sequencer Launchpad Edition, you have complete control of the whole pattern with your Launchpad, regardless of the pattern length and step size you have chosen. You can page through the pattern easily with the left/right and "user2" buttons, change the resolution modes, and scroll through the tracks with the up and down buttons. It just turns your Launchpad into a great Hardware Step Sequencer.
