Installation - Basics - Output setup - Setting addresses - Direct Control - Sequences - Playlists - Running Playlists
The Sequence editor is used to create sequences consistining of upto 256 steps across 512 channels, which can then be arranged into playlists and run using other parts of the program, the sequence editor interface is shown below:



The sequence editor is a grid, each row is a channel, and each column is a step, the interface should be second nature to anyone who has used a spreadsheet before, clicking a cell will toggle it between off (white) and on (blue), in addition to this you can also preform actions on groups of cells(*) (after clicking and draging to select the group) using keyboard commands.

Ctrl + D - Clear the selected cells (set them to off)
Ctrl + F - Fill the selected cells (set them to on)
Ctrl + G - Toggle the selected cells
Ctrl + X - 'Cut' the selected cells to the Icicle clipboard(**)
Ctrl + C - 'Copy' the selected cells to the Icicle clipboard(**)
Ctrl + V - 'Paste' the contents of the Icicle clipboard(**)
Ctrl + B - Same as above, but only the on (blue) cells are copied in (think of Windows Paint with 'Draw Opague' switched off)

NOTEs:
(*) When actions are performed on large groups of cells (especially when you open a file, or start a new sequence), the program may take its time over redrawing cells, be patient!
(**) The Icicle clipboard, while used in the same way as the Windows clipboard is separate, you can have something stored in the Windows clipboard, and use the Icicle clipboard without problems, the Icicle clipboard by the way, is only accessable to Icicle.
