The step sequencer offers a quick and creative way to create beat patterns. But it's also ready to respond if you prefer patterns with varying parameters. If you want velocity control per step, or to vary the direction of travel for a particular row of a sequence, you can. But you can also introduce glitchy note repeats, skip steps, tie them together or randomise the likelihood that they'll play at all. In this video, Jono takes a deeper look at all of the options available to show how quickly you can make super-sophisticated beat patterns from humble origins.
