Endless Sequencer = 128 notes Max. Can be polyphonic, which is nice.

Steal my Sunshine . . . 3:29

[@BlaiseMorris]

Digiphex Electronics Great example of a complex melody lmao

[@JoshHigginsTX]

Is there a way to shift the octave of the keyboard while inputing into endless?

[@Lukas-wn5cx]

Unfortunately not, you have to use Finger for that - and lose note length in the process :(

[@peternauta]

Hi!! thanks for these tutorials! One question: how many numbers can be placed in each bar of the tape?

[@LostStylus]

How exactly does it transpose? Does it take diatonic scale in account or does it just shift all the notes in the sequence by the same number of semitones?

[@joegrant413]

Pretty sure it’s only a shift. I wish it had a diatonic option.

[@DeeJayAARonYT]

Great for trap hi hats

[@sidkhajuria1147]

how do I turn off swing

[@chrisw9096]

How do you delete notes...for example, if the last note you put in was a dud?

[@joegrant413]

My biggest issue with Endless is that you can only edit the most recent step. And only immediately AFAIK.

[@thepatrickrichardson]

You demonstrate an 8-beat sequence. Can the Endless sequence be an arbitrary number of steps, like 23 steps ?

[@teenageengineering]

Yes, any length from 1 to 128 can be used.

[@YEINLAN546]

@@teenageengineering the limit is actually 3072 (24x128) this is due to the 24 notes on the keyboard.

[@pharmassist2464]

Is there to sink it to the metronome?

[@teenageengineering]

yes it syncs to the metronome by default if you start it from the sequencer screen by turning the orange encoder.

i just dont get why this doesnt have a normal sequencer, in the style of the tape recorder, you could drop in a sequence loop it and tweak the synth then hit record and THEN record it into the tape, becaues its WAAY to frustrating and basic to actually make a sequence then record it, then record a load of variations of that sequence.. Every time we have to write the new pattern then go back to the tape recorder then try and get it all in sync, to record at the start of the pattern is annoying. THen I have to make sure any reverb tales are not caught in the beginning of the loop. I have no idea how to even do that... All you end up with is an out of time mess that you can never change and its very frustrating even to get any basic pattern how you want. Why not just have a normal bloody sequencer page?!?!? its so stupid
