Toolbar

The sequencer toolbar. Numbers correspond to sections listed below.

The toolbar contains many functions crucial to making music with the sequencer. Some of these functions may also be accessed using keybinds.

Current functionally is documented below, from left to right:

Play button^[1]

The play button plays or pauses the current sequence. It functions essentially the same as the play button seen when viewing a sequence, however, it does not resume the sequence at the previously stopped position when played. Instead, it either plays from from the last clicked measure on the timeline, or the beginning of the sequence if no measure has been clicked.

Tempo^[2]

The tempo controls the speed of the sequence. This is set in beats per minute, with a default value of 110. Higher values mean more beats are counted per minute, and lead to faster sequences.

Title^[3]

The title input field sets the name of the sequence. This does not change how the sequence behaves, but controls what a user has to search to find your sequence. Consider using a descriptive title, making it clear if your sequence is a remix or a cover of another song or existing sequence.

Draw mode button^[4]

The draw mode button sets the current sequencer mode to Draw. In draw mode, notes can be placed freely, but it is difficult to select multiple notes at once.

Select mode button^[5]

The select mode button sets the current sequencer mode to Select. In select mode, notes cannot be placed; they can only be selected for adjustment or deletion. Selection rectangles can be drawn to select several notes at once with ease.

Erase mode button^[6]

The erase mode button sets the current sequencer mode to Erase. In erase mode, clicking a note will delete it from the sequence. Holding left click and dragging allows you to remove notes as your pointer sweeps over them.

Instrument select^[7]
