Keywords

💡Behringer T3

Behringer T3 is a reference to a specific model of a synthesizer or audio equipment by Behringer, a company known for music production equipment. In the video, it is the main subject being discussed and demonstrated. The script indicates that the speaker is creating a tutorial for programming the Behringer T3, which is the central theme of the video.

💡Pattern

In the context of music production, a pattern refers to a sequence of musical notes or beats that form the basis of a piece of music. The script mentions 'Pattern 1' and discusses deleting and creating new patterns, which is a fundamental process in programming a synthesizer for a new melody or sequence.

💡Sequence

A sequence in music production is a series of steps that define how a pattern of notes or sounds is played over time. The script talks about programming a new melody or a sequence, which involves setting the number of steps and the pitch for each step to create a coherent musical piece.

💡Pitch Mode

Pitch Mode is a setting on a synthesizer that allows the user to adjust the pitch of individual steps within a sequence. The speaker in the script uses Pitch Mode to input different pitches for the steps of the sequence, which is a key part of creating the melody.

💡Accent

An accent in music production is an emphasis on a particular note or beat, making it stand out from the others. The script mentions adding an accent to the sequence, which would involve changing the way a specific step sounds to give it more prominence in the overall pattern.

💡Slider

A slider on a synthesizer is a control that allows for the adjustment of various parameters, such as volume, pitch, or modulation. The script refers to adding an accent or a slider, which suggests the use of these controls to modify the sound during the sequence programming.

💡Step

In the context of the video, a step is one position in a sequence where a specific musical event can occur. The script discusses setting the number of steps in a sequence, with the traditional choice being 16 steps, each representing a different moment in the pattern.
