### 
Q - Nodular Sequencer


------

Q is a Nodular Sequencer controlled by the interactions between nodes and particle streams. It was built using React.

## Platforms

Q has been tested on Chrome but it should work on any decent browser with MIDI support.

## Nodes

Nodes generate midi messages whenever they become in contact with a particle.

- **MIDI**

  - noteOn/noteOff messages to the specified MIDI destination.

  - Lag and probability controls.

  - Velocity control.

  - Note and octave selectors.

  - MIDI destination selector.

## Streams

Particles travel along the paths defined by streams. Streams can have zero or more particles. There are three different types of particles:

- **Linear**

  - Linear particle flow (user-defined length).

  - Particle count and speed controls.

- **Circular**

  - Circular particle flow (user-defined radius).

  - Particle count and speed controls.

- **Freehand**

  - Freehand particle flow (user defined path).

  - Particle count and speed controls.

## User Guide

|                   Icon                   | Action                                   |

| :--------------------------------------: | :--------------------------------------- |

|  | **Grab nodes** - Click on a node to select it. Click and drag a node to change its position. Click on an empty area to deselect nodes. ⌘+Drag on an epmty area to shift the position of the display panel. |

|  | **MIDI nodes** - Click anywhere on the display panel to create a MIDI node. |

|  | **Linear Streams** - Click and drag anywhere on the display panel to create a linear stream. |

|  | **Circular Streams** - Click and drag anywhere on the display panel to create a circular stream. |

|  | **Freehand Streams** - Click and drag anywhere on the display panel to create a freehand stream. |

|  | **Clone nodes** - Click on a node to clone it. |

|  | **Link nodes** - Click on a node and drag to a second node to link them. Messages travel from parent nodes to child nodes but not from child nodes to parent nodes. Loops are not allowed. |

|  | **Unlink nodes** - Click on a parent node and drag to a child node to unlink them. |
