 The sequencer has a modular concept, much like the synthesis modules but with features specific to sequencing. Sequencer step modules are called "Step Components" and they can be shown by hitting the STEP button on the right. Apart from the most common "Note" component, many other step components are available that perform certain actions or define conditions under which the following step component is executed. This is one way to play, for example, a sequenced note only every 4th pattern repeat or randomly at this position. The sequencer has a modular concept, much like the synthesis modules but with features specific to sequencing.

 Polymetric sequences with different sequencer lengths on different tracks can be achieved by adding a "Jump" step component on any sequencer step. It allows for jumping to any other step in the sequence as soon as the playhead in this sequence reaches that step. Polymetric sequences with different sequencer lengths on different tracks can be achieved by adding a "Jump" step component on any sequencer step.

 +In addition to the main sequencer tracks, there are sequencer modules that work like classic modular CV/Gate sequencers. The most important one would likely be the Misc => Gate+Velocity Sequencer module which can also used for controlling oscillator pitch.

 +==== Stems recording ====
 +Stems recording allows to save audio files into Drambo/Samples/Recordings directory. It works via "tape" icon in the top bar (left to BPM). There are same tape icons on each track within Main track (above solo button). By default, Master track stem recording is turned on (the icon is red), which means all the output from Master will be captured. You can select any number of tracks you want to capture for recording and each track will be saved into a separate file.
 +
 +For starting stems recording, the tape in top bar must be on (red) and playback must be running. The moment the recording is started depends on:
 +  - If the recording was turned on while playback was stopped, it starts immediately after playback is started
 +  - If the recording was turned on while playback was running, it start immediately after recording tape icon is pressed.
 +Note you can find out if the stems recording is running by "pulsating" color of the tape icon. 
 +
 +To stop the recording, you there are also two options:
 +  - Stop playback, which will immediately cut the recording the moment you hit the stop button.
 +  - Turn off tape icon in top bar, then the recording will be stopped after the next bar, allowing you to record files that are stopped precisely on the bar end - perfect for using the stems as loops. 
 +After a recording is saved, you see an information text with where the file(s) were saved, it should be Drambo / Samples / Recordings. The files are store in a directory named in format "[project name] - [bpm]" and files are named in format "[timestamp as YY-MM-DD m:s] - T-[track name]".
