Step Sequencer

Index

Contents

The following parameters, located in the
lower part of the control interface, are
individually adjustable for each step.

Note: Sets the MIDI note for each step.

See the comments under 

Center Key.

Length: The length (duration) of the step
as a multiple of the resolution as configured
under Step Length. For example, if the Step
Length is 1/16, a value of 1 means the step
will have a duration of a 1/16th note. A value
of 2 indicates a step duration of two 1/16th
notes, or an 1/8th note.

Gate Duration: This is the length
(duration) of the note itself as opposed to
the length of the step. Therefore, if the
step length is 1/16 and the 

Gate Duration

is set to 50, the note will last for 1/32nd
note (50% of a 16th note) and the
remaining time will be played as a rest.

You can change the value by adjusting
the bar display with the mouse.

Velocity: Sets the MIDI Velocity value
(keystroke intensity) for each step.

You can change the value by adjusting the
bar display with the mouse.

You can also control certain device
parameters such as the filter cutoff of the
Minimax or Lightwave’s Pan using Velocity
values.
