No more MiRack for my AUM sessions

I often used a MiRack instance (and all its overhead) just to use the Turing machine module. This app replaces all that mess and really fits in with AUM’s modular layout. A must for fans of generative sequencing.

very simple

Very Interesting…

Another nice pattern generator, with a twist… sounds like not just random notes within a scale. Could have some interesting uses.
It would be nice if Cem would also include probability, and randomization of gate length and other parameters in future updates; these are present in MelodyBud, and they really add to the unpredictability…
