Please watch the quickstart video first before you watch the next ones.

The first video will show you the most important Pattern Trigger actions. The following things are covered:

• Change length and position of the trigger lines with the start and end handles.
• Delete parts of a trigger sequence by using the right mouse button.
• Restart a pattern with a double-click.
• Right-click timeline to start playback from there.
• Enlarge the editor (+ zoom function).
• Recording melodies using the mouse or keyboard (keys 1 to 0).
• Turn off patterns to create own melodies in the Trigger editor.
• Triggering samples or drums with the "Chromatic C" Source mode.

The second video tells you more about the "edit" mode. The "edit" mode is perfect to copy/paste/move single lines:

To create a polyphonic melody, you will need to work with several instrument boxes at once. Use the same MIDI channel and instrument for each box. Sundog will create a polyphonic melody then which can be exported as a single MIDI file later on.

You will also learn how you can work with multi-patterns. They are useful to change melodic rhythms while a song part is playing.

Sundog contains a Pattern Finder which will assist you in finding nice melodic rhythms for your song.

The "Chord FX" feature is very helpful to use chords differently for different instruments:
