What's the difference between a sequencer and arpeggiator?

[GregAE]

Thanks GregAE, now I get it. I'm going to try playing it on guitar now.

So if the bpm is 166, does that make the notes 1/16 or 1/8 notes?

Going off of the high-hat pattern in OTR, the downbeats occur on the first and fifth notes of the sequence. At four notes per beat, this would make them 1/16 notes.

those numbers are midi notes?

Actually, they do need a bit of explanation.

These are offsets, in quarter tones, from the root note (I don't remember exactly what the root note is). Built this way, you can transpose at play time the sequence by simply pressing a single key, that includes octaves too. Great for playing in another scale or for improvising and moving the sequence up or down on the fly.

Great!! thanks for the explanation
