You can do that in Music-X as well, each "play sequence object" can be transposed in the main arrange sequence, and anything inside the play sequence object will be effected.ThomasHelzle wrote:Triggering sequences with other sequences sounded good, although in the Video it looks as if he is first creating what we nowadays would call clips and then arranges/repeats those on a timeline - wich can be done in any DAW.CoolColJ wrote:Please come out already!
Bitwig is the DAW I finally want.
Seems like it has the best of what I like about Live/Reaper/Sonar and hopefully Mulab's ability to have a separate pool of sequences from the arrange page
Which is what Music-X on the Amiga had decades ago, but not many DAW have :/
See from 16:25 in this video - record/jam, your sequences on the main page. Then create another sequence, which you will then use to play your other sequences as an arrange type window. So you can stack sequences inside other sequences.
All it needed was a play sequence object - simply!
Which more DAW had this feature...
Not sure what is special about this?
I thought at first from your description that the master sequence is actually "playing" the child sequences in a tonal way (transforming/transposing them)?
But yes, you can use multiple audio/midi events in one Clip in BW, so this may be what you are after?
Cheers,

You can also put the arrange sequence, inside another arrange sequence, and transpose that
Any of these sequences on the main page, even the nested ones can be triggered via a midi keyboard in real time, with key transpose kinda like pattern arp/step sequencer, and recorded into another sequence.
It's how I used to treat midi sequenced drums as loops back when I used to do jungle/drum and bass in Music-X. Pack each individual drum's sequences into a main "loop" sequence. Then arrange these "loop" sequences inside another arrange sequence - layering, transposing, offsetting them, chopping and splicing them to create stuttering poly rhythms and beats, but still as midi triggered events.
So you can have multiple arrangements and what not on the main page, play, mute and transform them as you see fit. Good for trying out lots of ideas, but also keeping them around once your final arrangement is done in a neat and easy way
I can do this in Mulab. And I think Digital Performer's chunks feature is a similar thing, but not as flexible is terms of transformation
