Editing the notes, performance data and motions

Editing the notes, performance data and
motions
What is a sequencer?
A system for using a sound generator to play notes (pitches and note lengths) at a certain timing based on a specified set of
performance data (a "sequence") is called a "sequencer".
With the S-1 sequencer, you can handle the following performance data in units of playing time called "steps".
●
Note pitch (note number)
●
How hard a note is played (velocity)
●
Note length (gate time)
●
The probability for notes to play back (probability)
●
Playing notes in repeated succession (sub steps)
●
Changes to tone parameters (motions)
The S-1 offers different ways of inputting this data into the sequencer to match your needs.
