Generative Sequencer

Orbiter includes a built-in generative sequencer that creates evolving ambient music across all three instruments. Rather than looping a fixed pattern, it uses probability and seeded randomness to produce sequences that feel organic and never quite repeat.

Controls

• Play / Pause — start or stop the sequence
• Reseed (dice button) — generate a completely new sequence while keeping your current settings
• BPM — adjust the tempo with up/down buttons or direct selection

Per-Instrument Probability

Each instrument has its own note probability slider:

• Handpan probability — how likely the handpan is to play on each beat
• Bowl probability — how likely the singing bowls are to play
• Gong probability — how likely the gong is to play

Set any instrument's probability to zero to exclude it from the sequence entirely.

Burst Rate

The burst rate controls rhythmic density — how often notes cluster together into short phrases rather than appearing one at a time. Higher burst rates create more melodic, rhythmically varied sequences.

Deterministic Seeding

Every sequence is generated from a numeric seed combined with wall-clock time. This means:

• The same seed with the same settings always produces the same sequence
• You can share a URL and the recipient hears exactly what you hear
• Long-pressing a scene preset regenerates the sequence with a new seed

Automatic Modulation

When the sequencer is running with a scene preset active, instrument parameters are automatically modulated over time — brightness drifts, reverb swells, and decay lengths shift slowly, so the sound evolves without manual adjustment.
