Description
2- completely rewritten in JS,
new UI using V8ui
added a selectable mode for note distribution
Fit- notes are stretched or compressed to fill the selected space/clip
Wrap( old behavior)- notes fill the clip from the start based on the amount of notes and the grid.
Added ability to make notes legato.
inverting the pattern is reflected in the ui
1.6-Tweaked the way Drum Mode works, it defaults to the first 16 cells in a drum rack but can be adjusted to start/end at other cells. That way randomize works better with drum racks with less than 16 cells loaded and you can have an existing pattern on some notes while generating patterns in others.
1.5-Bug fix/ Added ability to shift all Lanes left or right individually, Added ability to Quantize the pattern to the current grid in Live.
3Gates should now default to and stay in sync with the chosen root note in Live- the lowest available pitch in Keys mode will be the same as the root note in the Clip in the 3rd octave range.
Each Lane and the Pitch Seq have an arrow icon, clicking the left will nudge the pattern left, clicking right will nudge the pattern right and clicking in the middle of the arrows will reset the pattern.
Adding to or modifying the Lanes/Pitches after nudging will create a new starting point for the rotation.
Note- If the Lane length is larger than the amount of Steps it can produce results that seem off in the rotation/clip. Initially I limited the range of the lanes to always be < == to the Steps but found that I liked the possible results better this way. If Nudge doesn’t seem to be doing what you expect, check that the Lanes are < == the amount of Steps.
Clicking "Q" will quantize the note positions to the current grid in Live.
1.4- Bug fix/added invert pattern. 3Gates no longer outputs notes until a parameter has been changed. Previously it would add notes to a clip unexpectedly when selecting a clip after opening a project. An invert button inverts the pattern used to determine note positions.
1.3-The lowest note in the table now follows the root note of the chosen scale in Live, removed the scale switch and added a mode toggle, clicking the piano keys switches between an "in scale" mode and a drum mode where the pitches are mapped to the first 16 cells in a drum rack.
1.2-Added Scramble to Gates
1.1-Bug Fix, Added ability to Randomize the Gates, increased max size of Gates length.
3Gates is a MidiTool Generator that uses 3 lanes of varying length and up to 16 steps of pitches to create notes. The "gates" are combined and repeated at varying lengths throughout the clip and step through the available pitches which can be randomized/scrambled. At the bottom are settings to randomize the gates within the current length, choose the amount of steps, turn Scale on or off, change the octave and define a low/high amount for randomized velocity.
