Step Sequencer View
Articulation—The Articulation knob controls how long each note is held.
The value range is 0-100% and the default value is 100% (hold each note
for its full duration).
Swing—The Swing knob controls the amount of swing that is applied to the
sequence. The value range is 0-100% and the default value is 50% (no
swing).
A swing value of 50% (the default) means that the beats are spaced evenly.
A value of 66% means that the time between the first and second beats is
twice as long as the time between the second and third beats.
Portamento On/Off Toggle—This button is used to enable/disable
portamento, which applies a smooth slide between two pitches. When
enabled, a Controller 65 (Portamento) event is inserted at the start of the
clip. Portamento only applies if your sound source (soft synth or external
MIDI device) supports Portamento.
Portamento Time—This knob adjusts the rate at which Portamento slides
the pitch between two notes (the time it takes for the next note to reach its
pitch). The value range is 0-127 and the default value is 0 (slowest rate).
Insert Row—Click this button to insert a new row above the selected row.
This command is undoable.
Delete Row—Click this button to delete the selected row. This command is
undoable.
Show/Hide Controller Pane—This button opens and closes the
Controllers pane (see Controllers Pane).
Notes Pane
The Notes pane consists of the following controls:
Rows—Each row represents a specific pitch. Similar to the Drum Editor in
the Piano Roll view (in some ways, you can think of a row as a different way
of looking at the Drum Map Manager dialog), the controls for each row are
located at the left side of the row and has the following controls:
• Note Name—This control shows the name of the note to which the
row is mapped. Click the note name to audition the pitch. Double-
click to show the Drum Map properties for that note.
