Multiple-stage toggles
The title says it all. These are three-stage toggles. I might try for four- or five- or twelve-stage toggles at some point. Above a certain number, I'd wanna use the labels to indicate the stage of each one. I just thought of that idea. I will upload the more-complete sequencer whenever it passes another significant milestone.
I love feedback and suggestions.

Nice work, deerell.
I've attached a patch that might give you some more ideas. It uses [MouseState] to allow you to click and drag a toggle to give it a velocity range of 0-127. It also changes the background color with it. I guess it really just turns a toggle into a fancy numberbox or slider, but hey... 
Edit: modified it so that it still also acts as a toggle. Because, I mean, really.
Thanks M! I'm especially proud of the array-router component. I built and rebuilt the thing probably four or five times, and I still think it could be more elegant and tighter. (It is possible to triple-click a cell. It stays blue, but it is sort of sloppy, and I don't really want to deal with it.) And thank you for making me aware of MouseState.
Part of the new idea consists in using the labels to cycle through roman numerals a la chords in relation to the root, as with the arpeggiator I'm going to build soon.
This is so cool. It's like a knob-toggle. A knoggle. Glad you kept the toggle functionality, as it is still really important for sequencing purposes. Ah! And it saves the previous value! I will have to find some use for this guy in my live patch. I want things to be quick and dirty, so 127 is too much variation (too many possible relationships to think about), but I could certainly reduce the scale. I like to increment on click as well, but that's just a matter of hooking a counter up to the thing.
I am thinking out loud, a very useful patch! There is so much flexibility in Pd. With the capacity to design "classic" as well as new and experimental filters and oscillators, we can certainly approach and diverge from Reaktor in terms of instrument design. Oh and I love finagling GUI elements rather than assuming I have to go to structures to make what I want. I am all about lightening the CPU load. Though structures are certainly juicy as well.
Oh I have a patch you might think is cool at least. I haven't carried it into full functionality yet. Anyhow, I was proud of the basic execution of the ideas. Check it below. I think this is the updated version. It does what I meant it to do, anyway, though there is no tempo counter apparatus to actually cycle through the grids.
I feel like I'm on the cutting edge of software instrument design. I guess it's my personal cutting edge! So much yet to learn! Your work is inspiring to me.

I revised this patch. It was working graphically, but the arrays were getting the wrong values per click. This one works both graphically and numerically.

Nice patch, deerell! Have you ever checked out Gridflow? There's an abstraction called [#many] that works similarly. Might be worth taking a look at as well.

Oops! Looks like something went wrong!
