eseq user manual

Navigation and keys

Panels in eseq are buffers and the areas that show them are tiles. The view controls handle the common layouts; the keyboard reaches everything else.

Focus

A key does what the focused panel says. In a search box, letters type. On an armed track, letters play notes. In the piano roll, Delete removes notes. When a shortcut does nothing, leave the text field, disarm the track, and click the panel you mean.

Shortcuts

• Space: play and stop
• Period: record
• Tab: session and arrangement
• Shift-Tab: devices and piano roll
• Command-Z, Command-Shift-Z: undo, redo
• Command-D: duplicate the pattern in the mixer, or the selection in the arrangement
• Command-G: group the selected tracks
• Command-P: place a pattern in the arrangement

Commands and buffers

In command help, C- is Control, M- is Option, S- is Shift, and s- is Command. A space between chords means press them in turn.

C-x b switches the current tile to another buffer. M-x opens the command prompt; type a command name and press Return. The music buffers are *sequencer*, *mixer*, *fx*, *piano-roll*, and *arrangement*.
