Step Sequencer

Plays rows of programmed steps into an instrument. The current pattern-track workflow stores steps as MIDI clips.

Select a MIDI track and add this device from Library → MIDI Effects → Devices. MIDI effects transform notes before they reach the instrument.

Start with a short passage that represents your material. Change one control at a time. Compare at a similar listening level, using the device's power control to bypass it. Save a version of the project before making a large change.

Open the pattern window from this device’s Open button or overview. Device-held steps play through the song; Patterns → Move Steps to the Timeline converts them to a pattern clip. The header Step Sequencer button opens or creates a pattern track directly. Row lengths, Pitch graph, timing-shift range and Pattern playback depend on which target the window edits. Read Step Sequencer patterns before programming or converting it.

Read Plugins and signal flow, Mixing, and Automation for the controls shared across devices. This reference describes the current development interface; it does not establish third-party plug-in compatibility or release readiness.
