Riptide Sequencer

The sequencer is designed to help you manage a timed sequence of steps. For example, you may have a yoga sequence that involves a series of positions held for specific times. The sequencer allows you to build the sequence once and then execute it to do your workout.

Features include:

(1) A sequence consists of one or more groups. The groups may be executed in a fixed or random order.

(2) A group consists of one or more steps. The steps within a group may be executed in a fixed or random order.

(3) When moving from group to group or step to step, the Sequencer optionally uses the built-in text-to-speech module to announce the start and/or end.

(4) Each step has a fixed duration, expressed as some number of seconds. A step always takes the same amount of time; the Sequencer can randomize the order of the steps but always uses the same duration for a particular step.

(5) While a step is active, the sequencer can optionally "beep" periodically, to help you pace your activity.

(6) A group or step may be "fixed". For example, you may have a warm-up group that you always want to execute first, even if the groups are being executed in a random order. Similarly, you may have a step that you want to execute last within its group.

(7) A group or step may be executed one or more times. For example, a trainer might have you execute a group of ab exercises in a particular order, repeating the group a fixed number of times.

(8) The Sequencer can export a sequence that you build or import a sequence from some one else.
