Would love to see how you do this. I've managed to move in this direction with the four voices but it still doesn't always work the way I'm expecting. Need to watch more tutorials!
Right on. Definitely watch the developers video on YouTube he does it. That’s where I got the idea. It reminds me of a more elaborate, four channel version of Rozeta cells. If you need me to break it down I will, but watch the first video in one of these Ooda threads. There’s a couple on the forum. On the original post of the thread, The developer has an 8-9 min video where that’s basically what he does.
Same here. More tutorials will definitely help.
@lukesleepwalker @Edward_Alexander
First page here. Only 6 mins 30 seconds. Watch whole thing, but he does the multipart concept starting at 3mins 20 seconds.

@Poppadocrock is there a way to set velocity per step?
Yep.. forgot that Photon did it somewhat… but seems Photon does not load anymore.. or maybe it’s me..
Not exactly but…. There is a static velocity setting for each midi out lane. I think the main circle sequencer records the notes at what ever velocity they are played in, but not certain. There’s also separate steps going on. First you have the main circle pattern moving in steps (with choice of movements) then you also have the configurable pattern steps inside each midi out lane like in zoa. Each midi lane has that flat velocity setting, but I was hoping for a little randomness there.
I was hoping each midi lane could have a range for velocity a max/min, instead of 1 velocity bar. Or at least have a velocity, and a velocity offset slider So you can have the notes playing at different velocities.
I ran it through Mozaic - Rando script to get some velocity randomization.
Thanks Poppa, I saw Ryan’s video when he posted it a few days ago. Perhaps I’m just trying to overthink Ooda’s capabilities.
He did say he has a few more videos to post along with the App Store description when it launches, so I’ll be looking forward to those.
Btw, for some reason, I didn’t get the usual notification that someone paged me here on the forums (your post) hmm
Yea I think he has a couple more on his YouTube channel. Not certain though.
That’s odd. Could be a glitch. Keep an eye on it I guess @Edward_Alexander
Now in the App Store.
Always a pleasure to have some new ways to get sound out of an old synth. Ftw

Bought, literally five minutes ago. First spin with it:
I’m using MIDIGates as usual to introduce probability and uncertainty, and Scaler to keep the slightly-tweaked Ooda preset playing the LoFi Tape in line with the Zoa-driven Ripplemaker as I can’t see that @rygrob has included an idiot-proof scale selector in Ooda (? - maybe there’s one there, and I just didn’t find it - naturally I didn’t do anything sensible like watch a tutorial video yet!)
First impressions - very cool, and I like the way it plays nice with Zoa too. Now I just need to throw Shiftbud and Euclidean into the mix…
Grabbed it too. Very neat and inspiring
So, I'm just a dummy, but it seems there is no way to view or edit the notes in a step. So you're flying completely blind. Very aleatoric, but makes it hard to get things right. @rygrob ?
Lovely little piece there!
No way to view the notes afaik but if you select a step and enter a note, it will overwrite the previous note in there
I bought OODA immediately after waking up, and can’t wait to try it out later. Figuring out what Cells could do was one of my (many) “A-ha!” moments in this last ~year of making music with iOS, so a beefier version of that type of seq has me very excited.
Very nice but disappointing in parameter automation. I’d like to have as many things automatable but in Cubasis3 I can’t get any automation to get to recorded properly, even just the track enable /disable would be fine.
Right. So if you enter a chord wrong, you re-enter the correct chord, because you have memorized the entire sequence, or written it out in advance. So convenient.
Very interesting app.
Could the parameters be more specific for external control ? The list is quite exhaustive which is great but a lot of repetition makes it barely usable.
Thanks to dev! Who’s the dev? 😅
Or you could just use these magical devices known as “ears” to identify this pesky chord which is so difficult to find but destroying your masterpiece… It’s far more convenient than you might think 🧙♂️
Sure it would be nice if there was a way to see the contents of a cell but you have to think about why the dev might not have implemented it. First thought, how do you identify wormholes if the cells are named by the notes in it? Do you put both the cell number and the note name in? That gets very cramped quick. The bigger point is that you seem to want very deterministic results from an app that’s seems to be largely geared towards experimentation and happy accidents. It’s annoying that my coffee machine doesn’t make tea but I have learned to live with and just put on the kettle ☕️🫖
Jokes aside, if you approached this more as a feature request rather than a snarky comment, you might actually get somewhere!

Haven’t bought it yet but I don’t see anything in the screen grabs or manual about built in scales.
The scale is just dependent on what notes you enter…
OODA only works off the notes it’s given so it doesn’t make a huge amount of sense for it to have scales selection
It’s not possible to know less about theory than me, but wouldn't that apply to any instrument or DAW that offers scales? The scales allow dummies like me to not enter shite notes. Maybe I am totally missing the point of how this works. Very possible.
I requested the ability to view notes during the beta. Will buy it, but this is an important feature that I think needs to be added since the sequencer isn't purely generative.
Thanks everyone for checking out OODA! Displaying which notes are on the steps isn't out of the question for the future but for now my preference is towards a little ambiguity there
Also, no scales, OODA only works with what you record in and therefore sounds unique to you.
Feel free to send me an email or a dm with ideas/bug reports.
@rygrob Notes could be similar to Persist Menus option where it's an option in the settings and by default can be set not visible. Thanks for creating another awesome sequencer!
I'm not suggesting that the cells should be named by notes, just that there be a way to view them, maybe tap/hold, or double tap on the cell. For example, I tried one of the presets, but the random beeps/bops made no sense, since I didn't know what was in the cells.
+1 for full parameter automation and more distinct AUv3 parameter names. Being able to control everything in a modular host like Drambo would be more than fun!
