a version of the old “step” max patch, written in chuck.

it works the same as the original “step”, except it only has 7 channels, and the top row gives mlr-like control of the playback position.

to play with the crappy samples included, set the “current directory” box in the “miscellaneous” tab of the chuck prefs to wherever you put the chuckstep directory, or move the chuckstep directory to wherever your already-chosen “current directory”.

to load your own samples, put them in this directory (or direct the preferences to your own), and alter each of the ””somesample.wav” ⇒ b(something).read” lines to read your samples.

N.B – i used the mini-audicle version of chuck, and it has a slider for bpm. it won’t run from the command-line unless you remove the code for the slider (OS X at least), and you’ll have to alter tempo by manually changing the line line “120.0 ⇒ bpm float;”
