A two-level sequencing system: compose patterns note-by-note in the piano roll, then arrange them into full songs using the clip launcher and arrangement timeline.
Each instrument has its own step sequence displayed on a piano roll grid. Place notes, adjust durations, and control velocity with an intuitive point-and-click interface.
32 steps per instrument by default (1 bar), expandable with Double/Halve controls. 5 octaves visible at once: 2 above root, root octave, 2 below. Auto-octave centres notes when loading sequences.
Each instrument can have its own loop start and end points, enabling polymetric patterns where instruments loop at different lengths within the same section.
Click to place or remove notes. Drag horizontally to move notes in time. Resize handles adjust note duration. Velocity editing for dynamic expression.
Set a musical scale and root note to constrain pads to in-key notes. Octave controls shift the pad range up and down for accessing the full pitch spectrum.
The 4×4 pad grid transforms depending on the selected mode, giving you different ways to interact with the same underlying sequence data.
Pads trigger notes based on the current scale, root, and octave. Play melodies and chords in real time. Record pad performance directly into the sequence during playback.
Pads become a 16-step sequencer for the current instrument. Toggle steps on and off with a tap. Navigate pages to access all 32+ steps.
Pads become horizontal sliders for parameter automation. Select any knob, then drag pads to set automation values per step. A SETUP view lists all automated parameters with edit, mute, and delete controls.
A dedicated overview mode that shows all 16 instruments in the current group simultaneously. The piano roll displays one row per instrument instead of pitch rows, and each instrument has its own independent playhead following its own loop points.
See and edit sequences for all instruments at once. Each row shows that instrument’s notes with full editing capability. Select instruments by clicking the piano keys column.
Each instrument row has its own playhead, pre-calculated in the audio engine for zero main-thread overhead. See polymetric patterns come alive visually.
The pad grid shows all 16 instruments. Tap to trigger sounds, and pads flash in time with note triggers during playback. Recording captures pad hits to the correct instrument sequence.
The song grid is a 16 × 5 matrix of pattern cells. Each cell holds a pattern containing 16 instrument sequences. Launch patterns per-group or as full sections.
16 sections × 5 groups. One pattern per group can be active at a time (group exclusivity). Switch between expanded grid view and collapsed section buttons.
Launch patterns with quantised timing — new patterns start at the next bar. Visual indicators show playing (green), queued start (green pulse), and queued stop (orange pulse) states.
Set repeat counts (¼, ½, 1–16) and up to 8 end actions per section. Actions include: jump to first/previous/next section, jump to a specific section, stop, or loop forever.
Long-press patterns to copy, swap, replace, or delete. Drag instruments onto pattern cells to copy sequences to other sections. Drag instruments to group buttons to copy across groups.
Record your live clip-launching performance into a linear arrangement. The timeline captures when you launch and stop patterns across all 5 groups.
Arm recording, launch patterns as usual, and your performance is captured to the timeline. Play back the arrangement and patterns launch automatically as recorded.
5 group lanes with bar markers. Click to select blocks, drag to move in time, and delete to remove. Click empty space to reposition the playhead.
Record pad performances directly into sequences. In Notes mode, played notes are quantised and added to the piano roll in real time. In Pattern mode, each pad trigger is recorded to the correct instrument’s sequence. Recording state is indicated with red borders and pulsing cells in the song grid.
