.SH USAGE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Patroneo (which is Esperanto for "Pattern") is an easy to use, pattern based midi sequencer, a
|
|
|
|
|
program that sends digital "notes" to software instruments such as synthesizers and samplers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This program is feature-complete with version 2.4.0 in 2022.
|
|
|
|
|
Further releases will be limited to maintenance and fixing problems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Patroneo was initially designed for educational purposes, where the main goal is to teach the
|
|
|
|
|
importance of patterns and repetitions in any kind of music. However, Patroneo is a full sequencer
|
|
|
|
|
you can use to create real music. The constraints it presents will more likely boost your
|
|
|
|
|
creativity than suppressing it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You have tracks with one pattern each. Turn on steps in the pattern to play
|
|
|
|
|
musical notes. Switch the patterns on and off in a sequence to create a song structure.
|
|
|
|
|
Connect external synthesizers and samplers to create sounds.
|
|
|
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
|
Start patroneo through NSM, e.g. through Agordejo. This will take care of all
|
|
|
|
|
settings and save directories.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other modes of operations, mostly for testing, are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run without session management and save in /tmp.
|
|
|
|
|
patroneo --save /tmp
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run without audio and midi. Skips all JACK checks. Used to just look at the GUI, e.g. to make screenshots
|
|
|
|
|
patroneo --mute
