[Draft discussion] “Parameter Locks” modulator

I wonder whether an alternative route to achieve this request could be found through building a step sequencer (as some preset creators have done, including @Taika-Kim ).

It is definitely possible to make this in The Grid. I already made a patch that basically does this:
https://youtu.be/gggh6hqGfUo (The one I shared in the description). But, since we don’t have containers in The Grid, the patch is a huge mess of cables. And, since we don’t yet have a modulator that loads Grid patches, the only way to use the patch I made, is to put what I want to modulate inside of the Grid’s fx chain. So, although it is possible to do this with The Grid, it is inconvenient. I think it would be a fun module, especially for glitch, idm, and or anywhere where you want intricate per step modulation for many parameters.

Also, I think we could get an easier to use, more and less clunky looking parameter lock modulator with more features than the one I built in The Grid. The thing is, making something like that in The Grid isn’t ideal. It required a lot of connections, and they can’t be hid in containers, so the cpu usage is high. And, of course, it can’t just be loaded as a modulator.
