Duration based steps

Duration based steps

  • Steps can have durations measured in bars, beats, note values, or seconds.

  • Set each pattern's duration with precise control—a unique feature.

  • Each step sends a MIDI CC value at the beginning of its duration.

  • Steps can also execute multiple, customizable actions.

Step Actions

  • Each step can execute multiple actions for generative, randomized sequences.

  • Actions can jump to specific or random patterns—ideal for pattern chaining.

  • Actions can jump to specific or random steps within a track.

  • Set MIDI CC actions for additional custom triggers.

  • Actions execute at the end of the step's progress.
