New here. Can I use the drum sequencer with inputs or timers only?

Can I mix inputs into the drum sequencer or timers only? Thanks

Drum sequencer is used to set outputs only (Physical or MBs), so I don´t understand why you want to use inputs. Or do you mean using inputs to move between steps?

[TozoM8]

Yes. I have a ~40 steps procedure that requires a series of timers, but some steps requires an input from a scale ( weight reached) to advance to the next drum step.

Then you have to set duration time equal 0 to those steps you want to move by external signal rarther than by time. In ladder, you must use your own conditions and current step index drum sequencer to move next (Or desired) step

[TozoM8]

So if I leave those steps at 0 second then the drum stops. Now when my scale reaches the desired weight the scale rung needs to send a mb to "next step" on the drum to run again, right?

[Gabriel Franco]

Right, but you also must check current step to make sure you are moving to desired step. It´s also posible to jump to a step other than next one.

Got it, thanks!
