Q

Q is an interactive music software, a three-channel analog sequencer. It controls Zeta's software synthesizer through a geek's favarite interface with a lot of volume knobs and blinking LEDs, very similar to ancient analogue sequencer hardware. Turning these knobs at random, you may encounter unforeseen fantastic melodies. It is an easy-to-use application, but you will easily spend hours in front of the computer, trying to make the perfect sound.

Q’s three rows of dials correspond to three output channels mentioned above. You can choose the instrument associated with each output channel from a list of over 100 MIDI instruments. As there are 16 columns of dials, you will by default be playing 16-beat measures. This can easily be controlled; just click at any of the LEDs in the top row and the sequence will be terminated at that point instead, so that you can change to 16-, 8- or 4-bit measures on the fly, while your tune is playing.
If you don’t want your sequnce to loop into infinity, change the Repeat knob to Step (the Repeat option is default). If you click the Step button repeatedly, you will hear one note at the time. This is useful for trying to get a given time slice perfect. Toggling to Single mode, will make the application play the entire measure through once and stop (no repeating).
