This quick demo shows how you can synchronize GlitchDS with a MIDI sequencer using “strum mode” and a Midify board.

In strum mode, pressing “left” on the DS takes you to the beginning of the GlitchDS sequence and pressing “right” steps you through it. The sequencer is sending note-on commands to the Midify board, which converts them to button presses on the DS. The sequence presses “left” at the beginning of the loop so that even if you started playing in the middle it would sync back up the next time around. Then it presses “right” on every remaining 1/8th note.
