You can create songs by assembling
various patterns. It's up to you to
determine the number of beats in each pattern (16 or
32 or whatever).
Each pattern is composed of
tracks (as many as you want). Each track
corresponds to one sound.
The tracks/sounds can be pitched and
mixed and panoramized, and muted/unmuted with the
interface. Polyrhythms capabilities: Add a loop
point at the step you want, independently on
each track.
Each track is composed of notes (one
note by beat). On each note, you can independently
control pitch (from -12 to +12 semitones)
and volume. Some notes can be loop
point or scale notes
The number of different sounds is
not limited, neither the number of tracks in a
pattern, nor the number of patterns in a song.
