AN200 to SEQTRAK conversion notes
P.J. Drongowski
20 May 2026

If you want to convert AN200 to SEQTRAK (or some other beat box), these notes may help you out. The most difficult part of the job is splitting the AN200 rhythm tracks into instrument specific patterns, i.e., putting the kick drum into a track of its own. The information in this file will show you how I mapped AN200 tracks to SEQTRAK parts.

My notes are full of details and assume you have read and understood the AN200 and SEQTRAK manuals!
