Instructions
welle is a 8-step sequencer. On the left you see, from top to bottom: - Settings (play, pause, basic/advanced ui, bpm and volume) - User made "parts" On the right you see, from top to bottom: - Sample packs - Samples in the sample pack In the large center area you see, from top to bottom: - Command history and command outputs - A textfield where you type commands - Active samples You start by typing the name of any sample on the left, followed by a rhytmic pattern. # means that the sample is played. - means a pause. kick #-- means "play the kick drum, pause, pause, repeat". The sequence is automatically extended to eight steps. So it's the same as typing kick #--#--#- You can make the sound higher or lower by putting a positive or negative number after the #, for instance kick #10-- or kick #-10-- (it looks confusing, but is totally fine!) This is the basic usage. For more, try it out! There is built-in tutorial which you can start by typing "tutorial".Command Reference
