Description
A bellringing methods sequencer: plays 12 traditional English change-ringing methods (Plain Hunt Minimus through Plain Bob Triples, 4-7 bells), sending each row of the method as a v/oct pitch sequence quantised to one of six scales, with a synchronised gate pulse per bell strike. Intended to drive oscillators or other CV inputs that can respond to permutation patterns.
Z switch selects mode: Up = Play, Middle = Stop, Down (hold) = Edit. While held down, turning a knob selects that knob's edit-mode parameter (method / clock divide / scale); releasing Z returns to Play/Stop with the new parameter applied.
