CONCEPT
Assuming the different tracks carry specific musical purposes (e.g. track 1 = melody, track 2 =
bass line, track 3 = chords, track 4 = drums), it is possible to easily create a song „on the fly" in
JAM-mode.
It just requires two „clicks" to switch from JAM-mode to SEQ-mode where, likewise, you can
edit the selected sequences „on the fly".
SONG-mode
SONG-mode allows the creation and playback of longer and more complex arrangements or
even full songs. Even here, it is possible to change the sequence-progress in real time.
In SONG-mode, every track is given an individual series of up to 64 sequences which is called
a sequence-chain.
Part
The 12 sequence-chains of all tracks build a part. The SEQ12 can store up to eight parts. Parts
may be changed while the sequencer is running. Given that parts could equal song-parts, you
will have a choice of intro, verse, break, outro etc., which can all be called up to taste. 4
In this mode, the matrix serves to select parts as well as to display the sequence-chains of a
selected track. In song-mode, the locator-bar moves from top to bottom!
SETUP
The topmost hierarchic-level is the „setup". A setup contains the settings of all data that can be
changed by the user. This includes all parts, contained sequences and sequence-chains as
well as the global settings. You may compare a „setup" to a „song". SEQ12 allows to store up to
32 setups.
