Smp ed – sample editor: used to make adjustment to your current instrument Zap – basically a big delete button for either the pattern, instrument, or everythingĭisk op – disk operations. Shrink – shortcut for cutting the length by 32 ticks Orange Box - Overview Examples of when you’d use this would be to create a short loopable riff, or if the song is complete and there is some dead space.Įxpand – shortcut for adding to the length by 32 ticks. Len – changes the length of the current pattern you are working on. Patn – changes to view other patterns you’ve already made If it is 1+, the editor will move down that many spaces down the line when you’re adding notes.įor example, if you wanted 1 kick drum hit every 4 ticks without manually moving the cursor down, you would want “Add” to be at 4 to have the cursor automatically move 4 ticks for you. I usually don’t touch this.Īdd = number of ticks the editor moves down after adding a note in edit mode. Repeat will jump back to the pattern you designate once the song reaches it’s end.īPM = beats per minute.
To change your current sequence to a previous pattern, use the +/- buttons next to the”SEQ” button in the yellow box.To do a quick copy/paste of the most recent sequence hit the “CLN” or “clone” button in the yellow box.To add a new sequence to the page, hit the “SEQ” button found in the yellow box.Pattern will refer to the arrangement on the page (like a verse or chorus or a 4 bar loop). Patterns can repeat a number of times (the way a song comes back to a verse).įor this tutorial, sequence will refer to the current page you are working on. In this example, you should notice the sequence follows a numerical order. The top left corner shows which sequence/pattern you are currently working on and is being displayed below.
