The editor displays the characteristics of the current sample: its size and the channel it affects (in principle, a single channel). Likewise, no calculations are performed on the samples while the music is playing. If you want to use a melodic instrument sample with several pitches (several notes), you will need to use several samples, one for each note. text/html 2021-06-26T17:27:24+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://soundtrackerdma.cpcscene.net/doku.php?id=en:seq_ed&rev=1624728444&do=diff Sequence editor There are two types of sequences: arpeggio and pitch.
