Step Sequencer
A step sequencer (the sequencing arc) — a LANES × STEPS grid the Clock plays in a repeating loop through the wired voice. A NOTE controller like the Piano Roll: its kernel-owned data is a grid of cells per pitch lane + a step Rate + Gate, compiled into notes the Clock-scheduled player rings (the same note pipeline). Outputs Pitch + Gate + Velocity; wire into a voice (or drop a rig) + bind a Clock to Sync. THE CONDUCTOR MODEL: feed an object into Material — an Instrument's drum KIT today (each kit piece becomes a lane → a DRUM MACHINE) — and the lanes are sourced from it; the output stays Pitch + Gate + Velocity whatever the material. The grid is kernel-owned + saved with the project. (The same timing engine an Arpeggiator will reuse.)
