# Sequencer
|
|
|
|
## Structure
|
|
|
|
The sequencer is organized into:
|
|
|
|
- **Banks**: 16 banks (B01-B16)
|
|
- **Patterns**: 16 patterns per bank (P01-P16)
|
|
- **Steps**: Up to 32 steps per pattern
|
|
- **Slots**: 8 concurrent playback slots
|
|
|
|
## Patterns
|
|
|
|
Each pattern has:
|
|
|
|
- **Length**: Number of steps (1-32)
|
|
- **Speed**: Playback rate relative to tempo
|
|
- **Steps**: Each step can have a script
|
|
|
|
### Speed Settings
|
|
|
|
- 1/4: Quarter speed
|
|
- 1/2: Half speed
|
|
- 1x: Normal speed
|
|
- 2x: Double speed
|
|
- 4x: Quadruple speed
|
|
|
|
## Slots
|
|
|
|
Slots allow multiple patterns to play simultaneously.
|
|
|
|
- Press **1-8** to toggle a slot
|
|
- Slot changes are quantized to the next bar
|
|
- A "?" indicates a slot queued to start
|
|
- A "x" indicates a slot queued to stop
|
|
|
|
### Workflow
|
|
|
|
1. Edit a pattern in the main view
|
|
2. Press **g** to queue it to the first free slot
|
|
3. It starts playing at the next bar boundary
|
|
4. Press **G** to queue its removal
|
|
|
|
## Steps
|
|
|
|
Steps are the basic unit of the sequencer:
|
|
|
|
- Navigate with arrow keys
|
|
- Toggle active with Enter
|
|
- Each step can contain a Rhai script
|
|
|
|
### Active vs Inactive
|
|
|
|
- Active steps (highlighted) execute their script
|
|
- Inactive steps are skipped during playback
|
|
- Toggle with Enter key
|
|
|
|
## Playback
|
|
|
|
The sequencer uses Ableton Link for timing:
|
|
|
|
- Syncs with other Link-enabled apps
|
|
- Bar boundaries are used for slot changes
|
|
- Phase shows position within the current bar
|
|
|
|

Projects are saved as JSON files:
|
|
|
|
- **s**: Save with dialog
|
|
- **l**: Load with dialog
