💖 harmonySEQ(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the harmonySEQ(1) manual page — it lives in the User Commands corner of the man universe and it is genuinely iconic. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

harmonySEQ — a MIDI sequencer designed for live performances 🎹🔥

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

harmonySEQ [OPTION...]  [FILE]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so. it's a MIDI software sequencer built for live performances and jams. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

harmonySEQ(1) runs a whole bunch of synchronized sequencers at once, and each one gets its own pattern, repeating looped melodies of different length, duration and MIDI channel. like a little squad of loops all holding hands and staying on beat. 🫶

the main features, no cap:

• support for complex polyrhythms 🌀
• multi-pattern configuration for each sequencer
• customizable action triggers – exceptionally useful for live performances 👑
• a chord management system which allows to easily organize melodies that sound great together 🎶
• support for sequencing MIDI control messages
• an easy-to-use yet powerful interface, with a rich piano-roll pattern editor 🎹✨

as for now, harmonySEQ(1) works on Linux only. (sorry to the mac girlies 😭)

it uses the ALSA (asound) library, and GTKmm for the graphical interface. 💅

ngl, no official user documentation exists at the moment — but you can refer to UI tooltips, because nearly everything has a detailed explanation. the tooltips ate, fr fr. 🧚

more information can be found on the project's website. 🌈
