Eloquencer Sequencer - Notes - SONG structure

This are some personal notes for getting aquainted with your new Eloquencer sequencer.

The structure

The eloquencer's method of storing patterns and creating songs seems a bit confusing at first glance.

The thing to remember is that the "project" is at the top level of the system structure.

You can create up to 128 projects.

I like to view each project as something special I create for a particular gig.

Every Project is made up of songs.

Songs are made up of parts

Parts are made up of patterns.

Every pattern is made up of a max of 16 steps.

I think the best way to work with the Eloquencer is to start  at the most

basic level and make PATTERNS.

Then chain the patterns to make PARTs.

Then chain the PARTS to make SONGS.

Once you have enough songs for your gig, store then into a project.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each project contains 4 banks of 64 patterns.

Thus one project can have 64 x 4 = 256 patterns.

Each bank can be accessed while in Pattern mode by pressing the first 4 Track buttons.

A,B,C,D.

Then press one of the the 16 step buttons
 

A pattern is made up of 8 tracks.

How these  patterns are grouped and chained is how you make a song for live performance..

and each of these songs are stored with other songs within a project.

These patterns can be joined or chained to make "PARTS".

(The parts have a max number of 16 patterns

These patterns can be any of the 64 patterns that are stored within that project).

You can join these "Parts" to make a "Song".

 A Song is a sequence of Parts with a maximum length of 256 Parts

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

So when you begin, you can assess your patterns, in Pattern mode.

You go to Pattern Mode by

1. Holding down Function & long press the Pattern button.

2. you navigate between the 4 banks of 16  with the top 4 track buttons

and the 16 step buttons.

3. add your new pattern by pressing an unlit step button then

    entering your notes.

4. save.

 

 

 

Saving is done in Project Mode

 

 

 -------------------------------------

 

This is song Mode;

Its here where you create PARTS and SONGs

 

---------------------------------

The CV, GATE , G Length, Ratchet buttons have multiple function.

 

 

 

They change colour if pressed repeately... to indicate probablilty etc etc
