Introduction
The sequencer is for assembling your songs. This is where you record notes and au-
tomation and edit clips and events.
Sequencer basics
The following sections provide an overview of the sequencer including track and win-
dow handling.
For quick-start info about how to play back a song and record notes, please refer to
the Getting Started book.
Sequencer elements
The relation between the sequencer and the rack
In the sequencer, data for a device is recorded and played back on a track.
D A track is always associated with a specific device in the rack.
Note, however, that a device in the rack does not necessarily need to have a cor-
responding track in the sequencer.
About tracks, lanes, clips and events
D A specific instance of a device can never have more than one track in the
sequencer, but a track can have many “lanes”.
A track with corresponding lanes.
D When you play notes or tweak a device’s parameters while recording in
the sequencer, the recorded data will be contained in “clips” placed on a
corresponding lane on the track.
D The data contained in a clip are called “events”.
Events can be notes, performance controllers or parameter automation.
