All parts

"In Episode 6 , we explore one of the most powerful creative tools inside the sequencer: Random Generator.
Random doesn’t mean chaos.

It means inspiration.

In this video, I’ll show you how to generate unexpected yet deeply musical patterns in MONO, POLY, and CHORD modes — and how to control every parameter so the results always stay intentional.

We’ll cover:
• How to access Random Generator
• Understanding Bias, Scale, Range, Rand, V&G, Ties, and Density
• Using Humanize, Order, Pitch, and Flip creatively
• Turning raw randomness into refined musical ideas
The goal is simple: give you a spark.

This is Episode 6 of First Steps with OXI One MKII series — a structured deep dive into mastering your sequencer from foundation to advanced workflow.
If you’re building a hardware-centered studio like I am, this one will unlock serious creative momentum.

First Steps with OXI One MKII / EP. 5: Poly Mode

video upload by OXI Instruments

"In Episode 5 we explore Poly Mode, one of the most versatile sequencer modes on the OXI One MKII.
Poly Mode opens the door to rich harmonic writing, evolving patterns, and expressive multi-note sequencing. From simple intervals to dense chordal textures and complex permutations, this mode lets you go far beyond traditional step sequencing while staying immediate and musical.
In this tutorial, I walk through how Poly Mode works in practice — how to add and edit multiple notes per step, shape harmonies, and use Poly creatively in real musical contexts. You’ll also see how it compares to Mono and Chord modes, and when each approach makes the most sense in a workflow.
Whether you want subtle harmonic movement or bold, layered sequences, Poly Mode gives you the freedom to design patterns that grow with your ideas."
