# Sequencer
|
|
|
|
Since QMK has experimental support for MIDI, you can now turn your keyboard into a [step sequencer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_sequencer#Step_sequencers)!
|
|
|
|
!> **IMPORTANT:** This feature is highly experimental, it has only been tested on a Planck EZ so far. Also, the scope will be limited to support the drum machine use-case to start with.
|
|
|
|
## Enable the step sequencer
|
|
|
|
Add the following line to your `rules.mk`:
|
|
|
|
```make
|
|
SEQUENCER_ENABLE = yes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By default the sequencer has 16 steps, but you can override this setting in your `config.h`:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
#define SEQUENCER_STEPS 32
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Tracks
|
|
|
|
You can program up to 8 independent tracks with the step sequencer. Select the tracks you want to edit, enable or disable some steps, and start the sequence!
|
|
|
|
## Resolutions
|
|
|
|
While the tempo defines the absolute speed at which the sequencer goes through the steps, the resolution defines the granularity of these steps (from coarser to finer).
|
|
|
|
|Resolution |Description |
|
|
|---------- |----------- |
|
|
|`SQ_RES_2` |Every other beat |
|
|
|`SQ_RES_2T` |Every 1.5 beats |
|
|
|`SQ_RES_4` |Every beat |
|
|
|`SQ_RES_4T` |Three times per 2 beats|
|
|
|`SQ_RES_8` |Twice per beat |
|
|
|`SQ_RES_8T` |Three times per beat |
|
|
|`SQ_RES_16` |Four times per beat |
|
|
|`SQ_RES_16T` |Six times per beat |
|
|
|`SQ_RES_32` |Eight times per beat |
|
|
|
