SLANTED SEQUENCE
A guaranteed way to get an
interesting sequence is to use a
different length for each step.
Because the sequence itself will be
so complex, you might want to start
by feeding it with a simple input
source, like some sparse, steady
chords. Let Thermae do the work.
FRIENDLY 5THS
This might be Thermae’s most
mellow and agreeable setting
for sequencing. The fifth tends to
fit in nicely with whatever you’re
playing, and the jumps in pitch
aren’t too extreme. Nice fifths,
good fifths.

REGEN
BIRDFEEDER
This is a playful and easy-to-use
three-step sequence. Turn up
REGEN
for an ascending chorus of
tweets and chirps. Complex, yet
versatile and harmonious.

CALL & RESPONSE
This setting alternates between
pitch shifting and atmospheric
noise. You’ll first be greeted by
textural abstractions of what you
played as the sequence descends,
followed by a sped-up refrain. Play
a phrase, wait for Thermae to
respond, repeat.
