seq~
Description
The seq~ object is an event sequencer that is driven by a signal input. seq~ can be used to create looping sequences of control data that are synchronized to a phasor~.
Examples
Discussion
It is optimized for continuous ramp input, but any signal passing through any range of values will work. Sequence events can be recorded in real-time or inserted with the seq~ can contain any number of sequences, but only one at a time is active for playback and recording.
message.Arguments
None.

Note: seq~ can be used to sequence MIDI data if the MIDI input stream is converted into lists of MIDI events. This conversion is necessary to avoid outputting a corrupted MIDI stream which would occur if only the raw int messages of a MIDI stream were sequenced individually and the seq~ object were not doing a simple forward linear playback.

Output
any message
Out left outlet: When playback is enabled with the seq~ object outputs all events recorded at the time specified by the input signal.
message, thelist
Out right outlet: The dump message will cause the seq~ object to output the contents of a specified sequence to be output in the form of a list consisting of an int which specifies the sequence number, a float which specifies the signal value associated with that point in time, and the int, float, symbol or list to be output at that time.
