Cirklon Sequencer User Manual
In this example, the song contains:
- 2 scenes (scene 1 and scene 2)
- 4 patterns (pattern 1, pattern 2, pattern 3 and pattern 4)
- 4 instrument assignments
When the song is loaded:
- the instrument assignments tell each track which instrument to use
- Scene 1 becomes the current scene, telling each track which pattern (if any) it should
play
The tracks look at the instrument definitions to see which MIDI port and channel they should
send note and controller messages to.
For this song, track 1 would use the settings held for synth 1, track 2 for synth 2, track 3 for
drum mch, and track 4 for vsti 1.
Scene 1 tells track 1 to play pattern 1, and track 2 to play pattern 2.
Recalling scene 2 will assign patterns to tracks 3 and 4, which were not used during scene 1.
In scene 2, tracks 1 and 2 continue to play the same patterns they were assigned during
scene 1.
Note that the scenes only tell the tracks which patterns to play – the patterns themselves are
not part of the scene.
The same pattern can be used by many different scenes in a song.
Song Play Mode
Any of the scenes in a song can be manually recalled at any time.
In order to play through all the scenes of a song automatically, for a controlled song structure,
Cirklon must be in song play mode.
In song play mode, each scene will play for a chosen number of bars, then advance to the next
scene in the list.
Some scenes may be set to require ‘manual advance’, so you can have a song which plays
automatically through some sections, but repeats certain scenes indefinitely until you choose
to proceed. You may also set a scene loop, which will cause playback to loop round a number
of consecutive scenes in the song.
By default, Cirklon will enter song play mode whenever you are on the SONG page.
