Navigation

The Cagire application is organized as a grid composed of six views:

  Dict       Patterns    Options
  Help       Sequencer   Engine

• Dict (Dictionary): A comprehensive list of all the Forth words used in the application.
• Help: Provides detailed information about the application's features and functionalities.
• Patterns: Pattern banks and pattern manager. Used to organize a session / project.
• Sequencer: The main view, where you edit sequences and play music.
• Options: Configuration settings for the application.
• Engine: Configuration settings for the internal audio engine.

Switching Views

Use Ctrl+Arrow keys to move between views. A minimap appears briefly showing your position in the grid.

The grid wraps horizontally, so you can cycle through views on the same row.
