Transport, Timeline, and Navigation
The sequencer transport controls tempo, playback, looping, the metronome, and playhead navigation across the arrangement.

The transport bar includes play, pause, stop, rewind, fast forward, record, click, follow playhead, loop, bounce, BPM, and measure count controls. Right-click the metronome button to adjust its click volume. These settings shape how the arrangement behaves during playback and capture.

Time Signature
Choose the sequencer meter so the timeline, grid, metronome, regions, Drum pages, and BPM-synced divisions match the feel of the piece.

The Time signature menu sits in the sequencer transport between Zoom and Measures. Use 4/4 for the default feel, 3/4 for three quarter-note beats per measure, 6/8 for six eighth-note pulses, or 7/8 for an uneven seven-pulse measure.

Tracks, Regions, and Arrangement Structure
Tracks organize note and automation regions, and each region acts as a reusable block in the timeline.

Tracks can be selected, muted, soloed, deleted, and filled with regions. Regions carry note content, optional bend events, and optional automation lanes for the nodes linked to that musical part.

Recording Notes, Velocity, and Pitch Bend
Recording captures live note data from the keyboard or MIDI, plus pitch bend when available.

To record a take, open the sequencer, select the track/group you want to write into, move the playhead to the desired start point, then press the Record button in the transport. Recording automatically starts playback if it is not already running.

Parameter Automation
Automation stores parameter changes for supported node controls so movement becomes part of the arrangement.

Automation can be recorded live from node parameter changes and later edited as curves. AudioFlow only shows node parameters that can be automated.
