What is Quantum Sequencer? Quantum is a performance midi sequencer that allows for interactive music composition through a step-based approach. It offers highly detailed steps that can be aligned into sequences and looped. The app provides 16 general faders for entering step parameters and loop actions to program tasks when a sequence loops. Quantum also includes a mixer page for blending midi velocities and allows for midi FX, devices, and controllers per sequence.
1. Where pattern or piano-role sequencers are good for music forms (intro/verse/chorus etc) or grid entry, Quantum's approach is built around the idea of a step being the focus - think of the step as a single note or chord written on a music sheet then add a lot of extra notation (like probability of playing or ornamentation say).
2. So why would Quantum be good for your setup? There are many midi enabled IOS & hardware synths that produce exotic timbres if you send them fast & varied midi controls that you just would not hear with keyboard playing or slow tempo tunes.
3. To enter step parameters such as note pitch, velocity, gated length etc, 16 general faders are available which allow you to draw, drag, select copy/paste, inc/dec & link together to edit values.
4. Quantum is a performance midi sequencer which approaches music composition with an interactive creation processes - sometimes referred to as 'noodling'.
5. With up to 24 sequences playing Quantum introduces a mixer page allowing you to blend midi velocities.
6. To aid you with faster control Quantum has loop actions which you can program in to carry out tasks when a sequence loops - e.g. transpose, randomise, start or load another sequence etc.
7. You can have any length up to 64, but these can be further split into 4 sub-sequences that have their own set of sequencer parameters (like tempo, play direction, transpose etc).
8. Built on the MidiSequencer engine, midi FX, devices & Controllers are now possible per sequence.
9. These are also midi learnable (midi cc or nrpn) to allow you to use control surfaces or midi controllers.
10. These highly detailed steps are then aligned into sequences (think melodies) that loop.
