Can be given names Yes Yes
Sequence parame-

Sequence parame-
ter “Transpose”
available
Yes No
Sequence parame-
ter “Velocity” avail-
able
Yes No
Sequence parame-

Yes No
Sequence parame-
ter “Delay” available
Yes Yes
Freely positionable Yes Yes
Left or Right Cor-

Yes Yes, and this affects the audio region,
but not the position of the audio sig-

sequencer
Can be cut with the
scissor tool
Yes Yes, creates new regions
Concealable intro No Yes
Have a variable
musical reference
