Introducing a pattern-based grid sequencer, ideal for the rapid creation of repeating drum loops and simple melodies. Connect to a Sampler Node, Oscillator Node, or Noise Generator Node for audio output.
Settings
Number of steps
Specifies the number of steps in the pattern.
Step length
Determines the duration of a single step in beats. The custom step length option is available with an AudioNodes HD subscription.
Pitch
Sets the pitch of each note in the output.
Velocity
The velocity of each note in the output. When velocity mode is set to Step by step, sequential value editor does become visible.
Velocity mode
Determines how velocity is interpreted for each step in the sequencer.
- Unified: One velocity value for every step; the node initializes with this as the default.
- Step by step: Each step has its unique velocity value, providing a more dynamic experience. The velocity editor appears below the stepper in this mode. Precise values can be set by selecting a specific precision below the editor area.
Outputs
Melody Output
The generated Melody.
Node conversions
Node conversion is available from the node menu.
Convert to: Piano Roll Node
Transfers all notes from the Sequencer Node to the new Piano Roll Node. Time arrangement rules apply based on the node’s placement on the timeline.
- Node not placed on Timeline: Only one large segment is created, 100% filled with notes from the project’s beginning to its end.
- Node had one or more segments on Timeline: Only one large segment is created, but notes will only be placed in those time slots where a segment of the original node was placed.
Note: Configuration options, including maintaining old segments, are intended to be added in the future.
Convert to: Drum Sequencer Node
Transfers all steps (notes) from the Sequencer Node into the Drum Sequencer, consolidating them into a single drum line along with node state properties like pitch, velocity, etc. Time arrangement rules follow:
- Node not placed on Timeline: The new node will not be placed.
- Node had one or more segments on Timeline: Segments are 100% replicated in the new node.
Note: Drum Sequencer Node only accepts pitches below A4; otherwise, conversion is disabled.
Remarks
The output format of this Node and the Piano Roll Node is identical. However, this Node outputs a rhythm with a single constant pitch, while the output of the Piano Roll Node can have varying pitch. The Pitch setting configures the constant output pitch of the notes.
