Recording Modes: ('Grid', 'Step', 'Overdub' or 'Replace').
Grid mode is your standard mode for recording rigid beats etc, each note recorded on a keyrange basis (as in select the not the sound is on, then select when the note is triggered).
Step mode is the traditional method of entering notes, by selecting the order the notes are played , manualy keying them in via built-in or external midi keyboard.
Overdub mode records over any previous midi data.
Replace mode overwrites your patern as it plays through the sequence.
Quantizing + Note Editing.
Essential for getting your grooves or riffs just right or correcting mistakes.
Song/Pattern Sequencing
Songs are built up by chaining together individual phrases/patterns in to a larger sequence.
Mixer
Volume of each track, panning position, automations and effects.
The mixer may also allow routing/grouping of midi/audio to specific midi/audio outputs allowing for greater control of the final mix (eg route all drum tracks to midi out1 and melody to midi out2).
Effects
Not all sequencers will come with built-in effects but if it does it is likelt to include compression, reverb, delay, and chorus/flange.
Some sequencers may also be able to introduce things like midi delay in to the midi data.
