Hi folks,

I meant to get Mutable Grids a while back, didn't get it, and now it's discontinued.

Are there good current alternatives to Grids? What I'm looking for is a percussion-oriented trigger/sequencer that will spit out an interesting and changing musical line while I'm working on something else.

Use case: let's say I'm dong a pretty deep sound design effort on a pitched voice chain, but I'd like a bit of perc running in the background so I don't lose my ears or mind in the meantime. $s budget to this "Grids substitute" is under 500, HP budget for this is 26HP or less roughly. Hence a good chunk of $ and HP to this purpose, but not buck wild.

The idea of running a few channels of VPME Euclidean Circles 2 through a switch is also a possibility. Sadly my favorite basic switch (Acid Rain Switchblade) is now also discontinued unobtainium.

Appreciate your ideas for a good Grids alternative.

Thanks!

Nicholas
