Sequencing Basics

by Don Muro

Sooner or later every musician who uses technology will discover a need for the use of music sequencing to compose, arrange, edit, or record music. This book provides a clear introduction about sequencing hardware and software used during the process. Organized into three chapters, the first deals with the basics of what a sequencer can do, the different types of sequencers, what sequencer data consists of, and how to set up tracks and playback instruments. Chapter Two covers how to use sequencers, describing their controls, methods of recording data, editing techniques, and the use of sound editing controllers. The third chapter discusses power features like score printing from sequencer files, digital audio sequencers, and syncronization to video. A list of sequencer software products, periodicals about electronic music, and the General MIDI list of sounds completes the publication. If you want to use sequencing technology in your music program, this book will help you get started. 40 pages, $9.95.
