TIMELINE Panel
This panel presents the tracks along with their selected clips as a step sequencer. Each of the clips may have different lengths, playback speeds and directions, among other properties.
Here you can write/delete notes on steps, with each step representing a 16th note. The default clip length is 16 steps, but may be expanded to a maximum of 256 steps. The number of steps is displayed next to the track name.
The top toolbar lets you change various clip properties as well as view and loop specific sections of the clips.
When you toggle a step, the created note takes after the Note parameter in the Trigger Device (existing note automations will override this). If keys are being pressed on an external MIDI controller or on BAM's internal keyboard while toggling a step, notes will be created according to the pressed keys. If multiple keys are pressed, a chord will be written.
