The Step Sequencer view is another way of looking at a MIDI track (like Piano Roll view, for example). In Sonar 8.5, Cakewalk added interesting humanising features to the Step Sequencer, so let's move 'off the grid' and take step sequencing into new sonic territory. And even if you are using step sequencers for quantised music, you can add to their musicality with 'humanisation' techniques such as leading or lagging the snare drum, or altering velocities for more dynamics. If you're a songwriter, it can be easier to get a good rhythmic backup going with a step sequencer - you don't have to fiddle with setting up a MIDI keyboard, doing channel assignments, quantising your playing - and even to create bass parts and melody lines.īut while you might enjoy the convenience of step sequencing, you might not be as thrilled with the lack of 'feel' in the parts. Most people think that step sequencing exists solely to make hyper-quantised, dance-type music, but it's also an exceptionally fast way to build a song. But do they have to be so rigid? Not in Sonar 8.5. Step sequencers are known for their mechanical sound.
