Hey there,
this is my first post. Glad to be here!
Disclaimer: I’m pretty new to C++ and programming in general so please go easy on me 
I made modifications to the patch/Sequencer example. I want to be able to control the maxSteps with the first dial/control on the Daisy Patch. But when I try to read the value from that dial I can’t get the code to compile w/o errors.
This is the way I am trying to get the value (maxSteps is of int type):
maxSteps = static_cast<int>(patch.controls[1].Process);
See full code below.
Thanks in advance for your help!
