Main Window / Live Grid.
Seq66 starts with a main window that has
a standard menu, a row of controls involving the basic
timing of MIDI playback, a set of tabs, including a
Live tab that presents a grid of patterns, with
other controls, including playback controls, at
the bottom. In Live mode, all patterns play
continuously, over and over.
The Live grid can also be shown in an external
window for flexibility.
-
Song Editor.
The Song Editor provides a way to lay out a
complete performance, in much the same manner
as other MIDI sequencers.
The Song Editor can also be shown in an external
window for flexibility.
-
Pattern Editor.
The Pattern Editor is a way to record MIDI
events and paint MIDI events, and view them.
The Patter Editor can also be shown in multiple
external windows for flexibility.
-
Event Editor.
The Event Editor is a way to view individual
event and correct them, if necessary.
This tab is explained in more detail in the
Seq66 User Manual.
-
Playlists.
The Playlists is a way to move back and forth
through a collection of MIDI songs.
See the Seq66 User Manual.
-
Sets.
Sets are collections of patterns that can be loaded
into the Live Grid in order to change the
way the arrangement is playing.
See the Seq66 User Manual.
-
Mutes.
Mutes ("mute groups") provide a mute and unmute
a number of patterns at the same time.
See the Seq66 User Manual.
-
Session.
The Session tab shows information about
the current run of Seq66.
See the Seq66 User Manual.
In addition to the interfacs described above, Seq66
handles SMF 0 and 1 MIDI formats,
provides for control of Seq66 by a MIDI controller
such as the Novation Launchpad (as well as status
display by such a device), a large and flexible set of
keystroke controls, port mapping, support for JACK
(on Linux), Windows, and more.

As noted, much more is explained in the
Seq66 User Manual.
Once you grok Seq66 the heavily-indexed
user manual can fill in the details.
Or, use good old trial-and-error.
If you find the diagrams too small, just fire up
Seq66 and bring up the screen item at issue.
