Terms

Pattern

Up-to 16 steps sequence

Track

One "voice", orthogonal to patterns

Root and Edit Buffer

A pattern, as it is read from the SD card, or as it is saved by the user, is the pattern "root". When a pattern is edited, the edits happen in the pattern's edit buffer. When saving to SD, or when saving / committing a pattern, the edit buffer content becomes the root. Each pattern has its own edit buffer. Playback for a pattern can be toggled between root and edit buffer.

Queue

Changes to playback settings collected asynchronously to trigger on pattern change

Chain / PatternChain

Set of links for "song mode"-like chain mode Chain mode has the concept of a Lead Track, which determines pattern boundaries. Chains contain links and are managed by the PatternChainHandler

Link

• patternPerTrack
• mutePerTrack
• trackUsedInLink
• timesToPlay (repeats)
• speedMult (playback speed multiplier)
• leadTrack
• nextLinkIndex
• lengthOverride
• pathOverride
