Sequencer and Sequencing

When you have enough grooves marked, you can build your own remix. For this, you will use the sequencer.

  1. Move each of the grooves in the disc group called SEQ.

  2. You can sort these grooves in any order; this order will determine the final piece of music.

    A short reminder. To listen again to the grooves you created, simply click on their number in the Mark list on the left-hand side.

  3. Activate the playback of your sequence by clicking on the SEQ play button.

  4. It is possible to assign the same marker several times in a row, which can be very useful to create an atmosphere.

To bring life to your sequence, superimpose on it a sequence of repetitive notes:

  1. Activate the arpeggiator by clicking on the ARP button.

  2. A floating window appears with a mini-keyboard.

  3. Click on the keys to play one or several notes.

  4. To help you in your choice, blue indicators show the notes that are part of your sequence tonality.

Each of the arpeggios created can also be marked with grooves. It is then easy to change the sound pattern into real time.
