- Connect a MIDI cable from the “OUT” socket on your interface to the “IN” socket on your synth. If you have more than one synth, connect a cable from the “THRU” socket on your first synth to the “IN” socket on your second synth. Make sure all synths are on – the “THRU” rarely works otherwise.

There are usually a number of ways to connect sequencers to synth. If it’s a software sequencer, there’s not too much to worry about; if it’s hardware, these are your most common options: 1. MIDI– you’ll often see the 5-pin MIDI DIN connection on synths and sequencers. A simple male to male DIN cable will do the trick, carrying everything from pitc...
For the most part, yes. If they weren’t, they’d be a real pain to use and probably wouldn’t sell very well. As mentioned above, the vast majority of sequencers use pretty universal connections. This makes life a little bit easier, even when you’re using multiple brands. You might like the sound of one brand’s synth, but prefer to use a sequencer ma...
This is where clock signals come into the equation. A clock is a consistent rhythmic pulse that can be sent to any/all synths or components in your setup. This pulse communicates a simple, repeating rhythm, ensuring that all synths in your setup remain synchronised in tempo. If you’re connecting via USB to a DAW, the DAW itself will communicate tem...
As mentioned earlier, sequencers can come in either hardware or software form. Software sequencers will often be more flexible, purely because they’re built-in to your DAW or a dedicated plugin. This usually means you’ll have more parameters to play with, more steps for longer sequences, and a more holistic view of your patterns in real-time. (abov...

Monophonic: A synth that can play only one note at a time. Think of a trumpet or a human voice. Polyphonic: Capable of playing multiple notes simultaneously, allowing for chords and complex harmonies. Paraphonic. A paraphonic synthesizer sits between monophonic (single-note) and polyphonic (multi-note) synthesizers. While it allows the player ...
Dec 16, 2021 · There are a few standard sequencer features and almost all of them will share a few basics. First up will be pitch. A pitch output is necessary for the sequencer to tell your audio source which notes to play. This could be a CV patch point, as in the image, done internally (for a desktop synth) or via MIDI. 2. Gate/trigger
May 1, 2020 · First Steps. In its simplest form, a step sequencer is a row of knobs (or perhaps sliders, but let’s call them knobs). Each knob has its own setting, which is a signal that the synth can use. We may as well call them voltages.
