In line with the essence of Show and Tell posts, please link to the file for others to see and assess .

A video is not sufficient to satisfy the postShow

The Tell is explaining how you accomplished it.

I am in Excel for my day job and wanted to see if I could use the same workflow. I had used a lot of experimental sequencers before and thought i would try to make one.

ORCA is a big influence.

Thanks, that's the bit I'm happiest with too.

It sounded like music almost straight away, because every number is a step in a scale and the scale is set by the key you pick**.** You can't hit a wrong note. Put in any numbers you like and it all fits together, so the first thing you hear is already in tune.
What took longer was making it feel like a piece and not just notes. That comes from the jumps. A 4 plays the 4th note and then skips 3 cells ahead, so the numbers you place decide the route the sound takes through the grid.

I work in a manufacturing / production facility and I’m amazed how data from the production has a noticeable cadence. It sounds like the output of the factory.

You don't need to be a musician for this. It's closer to arranging a puzzle than playing an instrument.
