Music Sequencer Ideas

Archive: 8 posts


Anyone else wondering what new sequencer options there might be in LBP3? Me and my friends speculated about instrument DLCs like a Woodwinds Pack or Chiptune Packs. and the possibility of a import songs option to use for your levels. What would you personally like to see for those composers on our community?2014-08-07 09:18:00

I love the music sequencer in LBP2!
Didn't used it since 2011/2012 and opened it yesterday.
It had a major update, which solved most annoying things about a sequencer

One big thing they could change if you'd ask me is: the view of your working grid.
In lbp2 the colour changes over 1/2 a bar. Would be handy if they made it 1/4, since most music is produced in 4/4.

Some other things that would be handy:
- equaliser (I'm really missing a low cut)
- more then 6 tracks
- Maby even an oscillator or synthesiser. (Which could be automated)
- more effects: like a proper delay/reverb, separate and not mixed, Maby even a chorus or flanger/phaser
- bigger beat samples with more frequencies in the low ends' like a 808 kit, Dnb/dubstep beats and an electro kit (especially on the kicks)
- a clean sine wave for the sub bass!

Ideas enough for ya?

Cheers,

If we had more flexibility over the grid, it would be great. There are a lot of songs that can be annoying to make because the grid doesn't fit as well with the time of that song.

Your other ideas are great too by the way

Yes, something more specific as opposed to just Brass instruments

And maybe a decent guitar instrument too. The distortion guitar sounds generally awkward and overpowers the music, the power chords guitar can't hold notes (I don't understand that at all) and the nylon string is OK I suppose, but come on! I've never been a fan of nylon string.

Also, the bass needs work. Not the instrument but the actual low end frequencies just don't go very low...or Maybe they're just weak. I dunno, I'm not an expert but the bass end always seemed meh to me.

It's difficult to find good synthesized guitars anywhere but I feel that even the ones on lbp could be improved. And you're certainly right about the bass. I usually find myself using that mime synth on low octaves for my bass a lot of times.

I'm just copying this from a post I did a while back.

I don't see many posts on this subject? I was an extremely big fan of using it in LBP2 however id like to see massive improvements on the music sequencer.

The music sequencer was a very popular part of LBP2 and people have gone onto even bigger software and started producing in real such as myself. Instrument DLC would be amazing for starters, the sound of the songs never felt right to me it always felt weak and not in your ears, so to speak. More options to make music creation flow better such as automation clips to give better effects in songs. The ability to create your own instruments would be amazing too! Something like the old fashioned synthesizers made into modern times. To be free to place notes where ever we please instead of being stuck to the 4, 8, 16th beats, if we could of-set notes that'd be cool. We should also keep the tunesdays in, they was pretty awesome! Also, the lag of the songs needs to be fixed! In music levels such as things like guitar hero the music would always lag and cause frustration. We should be able to have as many instruments as we want in our songs too. More effects other than echo and reverb, maybe something like de-pitch. With the PS4's much improved mics people should be able to sing and create harmonies but instead of using the voice recorder actually have an option to sing with the music.

Last idea, it's crazy but would be epic! An online band. For the start if you create a really nice snare sound you should be able to save it in a custom sound effect speaker thing that you get on LBP1 and 2. Once you have that sound you could build a drum kid and hook that snare up to the drum kit. Then once you have created all the sounds for your drum kit like kick, snare, hi hat, toms and open hi hat you can play it with your controller using the controlinator. Anyway back to the band, someone else can create there piano sound and another person can create a guitar or something and you could all play these instruments live across the web whilst writing your own songs. Anywho, I've wrote enough now aha. Hope someone likes some of my ideas!

That's all
