What's In A Playlist - Sequentix P3 SEQUENCER Operation Manual

What's In A Playlist

Time for another diagram:
This diagram shows that a playlist is made up of:
eight playlist steps
•
• a length value
Each playlist step holds:
• a pattern number
a repeats value
•
a transpose value
•
a sync value
•
So what does this mean?
When you start P3 running, or select a new part, each track loads up its own playlist, and starts at
playlist step 1. From there:
Each track plays the pattern number in the current playlist step for the number of times set in
•
the repeats value
THEN
• If the current playlist step number is less than the playlist length , the track moves on to the
next playlist step
OR
If the track has reached the last playlist step, it returns to playlist step 1
•
In short, the playlist is just a sequence of patterns.
