Need a sequencer with adjustable track height!

Post by tsger »

Is there an midi sequencer out there that will let you stretch the height of individual tracks (the way Sonar on Windows does)? That is one of my pet peeves in Rosegarden, and is preventing me from embracing Linux fully for my audio and midi production needs.

Thanks!

Sequencer disc has five circular tracks, each broken into 16 steps. Think of them as four measures of 4/4 time (four beats to the measure, 1/4 note gets the beat). So, each step is a quarter note.

This is a typical pattern style for a 16-step drum machine pattern. You can count it off as "one-2-3-4, two-2-3-4, three-2-3-4, four-2-3-4"

The outer ring is the clock track. It keeps time and its steps tell the whole system when to check for drum steps to play. Whenever a new clock step is sensed, the pattern has advanced one step.

The four inner tracks are for the four drum sample .wav files (they don't have to be drums, actually, any sample you want to play will work). One sample sound will be triggered per track, wherever a filled-in black step is sensed. forpc jiofilocalhtml.run

I've chosen a kick drum, snare drum, closed high hat, and clap as the four samples. Each track corresponds to one sample .wav file as well as one "voice" of the CircuitPython audio mixer.
