Thesys is fully 64-bit compatible and includes MIDI Export! Just drag and drop from within Thesys to your host or a generated MIDI file to your desktop. Sequencer Tracks Pitch The pitch sequencer works in relation to the root key and transposes it by +/- 12 semitones. It can work in chromatic mode or in scaled mode which expands the tonal capabilities a lot. In addition, the pitch sequencer has a flexible recording function. Lock Lock is part of the pitch sequencer. An active step deactivates the midi transposing. This is useful for keeping important notes and chords in key while transposing the sequence. Gate The Gate Sequencer creates notes and determines their velocity. Mute The Mute Sequencer is part of the Gate Sequencer and mutes the selected step. Gate Time The Gate Time Sequencer determines how long a note is held. Notes can be held up to four times the duration of a step. Octave This sequencer moves the pitch the pitch by +/- 2 octaves. Pitchbend Here you can select from 12 pitch bend figures to be engaged. Chord A Chord is generated using the current note in the pitch sequencer as the root note. Six Variations and four wrap-arounds for major and minor plus six special chords like diminished and augmented are available. Break This sequencer lets you set a multi-trigger at 2, 3, or 4 times the normal sequencer speed, playing the current scale up or downwards or just repeating the current note. 18 breaks are available. Random Each sequencer step can be replaced by a random value. Minor and major chords can be individually randomized to maintain the harmonic structure. Action Section Gatetime The Gate Time can be increased or decreased, depending on how long you press the button. Velo Gate The note will only play if it is above the selected velocity threshold. Looper The selected part of the sequence will be looped. Slowdown The sequence slows down until it come to a dead stop. Retrigger Re-trigger the sequence by re-triggerpressing the button; upon release, the sequencer continues at its normal position.. Halftime The sequence will play at half speed. Octave Up The sequence will play one octave higher as long as you press the button. Mute Mutes all data output.
