Usage

MIDISequencer built top on AudioKit's AKSequencer with MusicTheory library to create sequences just focusing on notes with multiple track support.

• Create a MIDISequencer instance.

let sequencer = MIDISequencer(name: "Awesome Sequencer")

• Create a MIDISequencerTrack and add it to sequencer's tracks.

let track = MIDISequencerTrack(
	name: "Track 1", 
	midiChannel: 1)
sequencer.tracks.append(track)

• Set tempo and time signature

sequencer.tempo = Tempo(
  timeSignature: TimeSignature(
    beats: 4,
    noteValue: .quarter),
  bpm: 80)

• Add some MIDISequencerSteps to track's steps

track.steps = [
	MIDISequencerStep(
	  note: Note(type: .c, octave: 4),
	  noteValue: NoteValue(type: .quarter),
	  velocity: .standard(100)),
	MIDISequencerStep(
	  note: Note(type: .d, octave: 4),
	  noteValue: NoteValue(type: .quarter),
	  velocity: .standard(100)),
	MIDISequencerStep(
	  note: Note(type: .e, octave: 4),
	  noteValue: NoteValue(type: .quarter),
	  velocity: .standard(100)),
	MIDISequencerStep(
	  note: Note(type: .f, octave: 4),
	  noteValue: NoteValue(type: .quarter),
	  velocity: .standard(100)),
	]
sequencer.addTrack(track: track1)

• You can even add chords or multiple notes or even both to any step.

MIDISequencerStep(
  chord: Chord(type: .maj, key: .c),
  octave: 4,
  noteValue: NoteValue(type: .quarter),
  velocity: .standard(60))
  
MIDISequencerStep(
  notes: [Note(type: .c, octave: 4), Note(type: .d, octave: 4)],
  octave: 4,
  noteValue: NoteValue(type: .quarter),
  velocity: .standard(60))
  
MIDISequencerStep(
  notes: Chord(type: .maj, key: .c).notes(octave: 4) + [Note(type: .c, octave: 4), Note(type: .d, octave: 4)],
  noteValue: NoteValue(type: .quarter),
  velocity: .standard(60))

• Create arpeggiated steps with any notes from chords, scales in any octave range with MIDISequencerArpeggiator.

let arpeggiator = MIDISequencerArpeggiator(
  scale: Scale(type: .blues, key: .a),
  arpeggio: .random,
  octaves: [4, 5])

let melody = MIDISequencerTrack(
  name: "Melody",
  midiChannel: 3,
  steps: arpeggiator.steps(noteValue: NoteValue(type: .quarter), velocity: .random(min: 80, max: 120)))

sequencer.addTrack(track: melody)

• Set isMuted property to true to mute any MIDISequencerStep.

• Call one of play() or playAsync() functions to play sequance.

state = .loading
sequencer.playAsync(completion: {
	self.state = .playing
})

• Call stop() to stop playing.

sequencer.stop()
