Swing settings can drastically change the feel of the sequence and accents can add even more complexity and interest to the rhythm. Examples include filter cutoff, resonance, saturation settings, waveform morphing, panning and pitch-shifting. ![]() And we haven’t even discussed fully what each step can control.īeyond simple note events (note number, velocity, duration), steps can affect literally any other parameter in the signal chain that can accept modulation data. It gets more complex when you change beat divisions, add glide effects, change event lengths with gate controls, add ties between events, etc. Three rows of 3, 5, and 7 steps would generate 105 unique combinations. The least common multiple of the number of steps will identify the point after which the step sequences will both begin at 1. Starting together, the same juxtaposition of steps would not repeat until the 57th step: The number of steps is user-defined and in more advanced sequencers, each row can have a different number of steps and different beat division values allowing for infinite variety as the sequence repeats.įor example, consider the simple case of two rows, one with seven steps and the other with eight steps. ![]() ![]() Each sound is activated by activating a step from the associated row or lane. Software-based Step Sequencers are rooted in traditional hardware step sequencing design and in particular drum machines.
