midi step sequencer that takes an input note?

Post by BlueCamoose »

Hey folks,
Playing with the latest version of Ubuntu studio. I have a foot keyboard and I want to be able to send notes to a sequencer, and have the sequencer preconfigured with patterns based on intervals from that note. I always thought that was an arpeggiator but when I play with QAprMidi i have to send it a chord and not a single note.
Obviously still pretty new to the space and the vocabulary, any pointers would be well received. Thanks!!

Renoise may do the trick. One can define phrases (optionally looped) which are triggered by single notes. Its tracker interface may take some getting used to if you've never seen it before.
