Components

Sequenced operations that run from playback tracks or the master track.

Components are sequenced operations. They are placed in component slots and run when the playhead reaches their step.

Playback track components

Each playback track has three component slots in the track grid. These slots are sequenced like notes.

Some components are shared by all instrument types. Sequencing components are an example of shared components. Other components are specific to certain instrument types, or have slightly different effects depending on the instrument.

Component categories

Sequencing

Changes playback behaviour, timing, order, or event handling for a track.

Instrument

Controls instrument-specific behaviour, such as MIDI CC, aftertouch, sampler slicing, or plugin automation.

State

Switches an instrument to a stored parameter state at a specific step.

Master FX

Runs from the master track and affects playback tracks rather than the master track itself.

Work in progress

The complete component reference is still being written. Component names, ranges, and instrument-specific behaviour should be checked against the current build before publication.
