Seq66 Basic Tutorial

Home Page

 

This tutorial describes the basics of Seq66; it includes enough to get started with creating a song and understanding the configuration. It is a quick introduction. For the complete manual, see the Help / User Manual command. If this fails, send an e-mail reporting this problem and your setup (operating system, default browser and PDF viewer settings) to ahlstromcj@gmail.com . Or find the complete manual, seq66-user-manual.pdf, at:

  • Seq66 User Manual (at ahlstromcj.github.io)
  • /usr/share/doc/seq66-0.99 or /usr/local/share/doc/seq66-0.99 (Linux)
  • C:/Program Files (x86)/Seq66/doc (Windows)
  • seq66/data/share/doc (Seq66 source-code package)

This tutorial is simply for familiarizing people with this live-grid MIDI sequencer application.

 

This tutorial starts with a quick survey of the most important elements, which cover creating tracks (patterns) and modifying them. More advanced elements (sets, mute-groups, playlists) are best covered in the user's manual, not this tutorial.

Once the basics have been summarized, the tutorial begins, covering startup, configuration, creating a tune, and laying it out as a song performance.

Use the side-bar at the left for fast navigation.

Note that this tutorial and the user's manual are available in Seq66 via the Help menu.

 
 

As time goes on, this tutorial will be tweaked, especially as requested by user input at GitHub: https://github.com/ahlstromcj/seq66
