• Copy/Paste: Copies the selected sequence/pastes to any selected sequence.

• Reverse: Reverses the sequence order within the specified step range.

• Invert: Inverts all values within the specified step range. Zero values become

Resets and vice versa.

• Randomize: Randomizes all values within the specified step range. Repeated

selecting of the Randomize function creates a new series of random sequence

values.

• Randomize Q: Works like Randomize, but automatically adjusts step values

up or down to real note values.

• Step Up: Creates a sequence of incremental positive values based on the first

value in the range. For example, if the first step value is 0, Step Up will create a

series of values where the second step value will be 1, the third 2, etc. If the

first step value is 45, then the second will be 46, the third 47, etc.

• Step Q: Works like Step Up, but increases the step values by 2. If the first step

value is 10, Step Q will create a series of values where the second step value

will be 12, the third 14, etc.

• Control Adjust arrows act to raise or lower the selected sequence value by 1

for each click of the control. Holding the control button instead of clicking

provides for rapid adjustment of the sequence values.

The Undo button offers multiple levels of undo. You can undo any chord or function

selection back to the point at which you started.

The Done button closes the Function drop-down window.

Note: the Sequence selection buttons on the left side isolate the sequence to apply

these settings to. As each sequence is selected the colour of the bars of the selected

sequence change from the light blue-green to mauve to help remind which sequence

is actively being edited.
