Description

Repeat MIDI notes at a rate that accelerates (or decelerates) between two note values over a time interval.

USAGE:

1. Set Start Time and End Time. These values are divisions of a measure (not necessarily the Interval chosen). Note that you can choose any decimal number in the denominator for each of these values and you are not restricted to the typical 1/4, 1/8 plus dotted/triplet values (or alternatively milliseconds) that you are accustomed to.

2. Set Interval. This is the time interval over which we will accelerate between Start and End times.

3. Turn On/Off Linear/Curved. This determines whether the device will generate notes based on a linear or curved line.

4. Optionally set Curve Param. If Linear/Curved is set to ON, this determines the shape of the curve. Positive values generate notes based on a logarithmic line shape while negative values generate based on an exponential line shape. If this is parameter is set to 0, it will work identically to having Linear/Curved set to OFF.

Note that this parameter is disabled while Linear/Curved is set to OFF.

5. Optionally set Gate. This will shorten the notes output by a factor of 0-100%.

6. Optionally set Pitch Mod Step and Pitch Mod. This will pitch shift the notes output by the value set by Pitch Mod Step based on the probability set by Pitch Mod. For example, values of +1st and 33% gives you a 33% chance that each note generated will be shifted up 1 semitone.

7. Optionally set Swing. This will swing the notes output by this value in milliseconds.

8. Optionally set Skip. This determines the probability of skipping any given note being generated by the device

9. Create a clip and add some MIDI notes (preferably as long as your Interval). Notes will be output for as long as the input MIDI note is held and will end on note-off or when transport stops.

10. If you want to run the current pattern at double or half of the current Interval (or any other % value), set the Global Time to 200% (twice as fast) or 50% (half as fast). Keep in mind you might need to update your MIDI pattern to accommodate the time changes you make with this setting - i.e. half or double the length of the MIDI note.

SUGGESTED USE:

* This was originally designed to generate unique rhythmic patterns, so use with a Drum Rack is recommended but not required. Any MIDI instrument will work.

* Place a Haste instance before a Drum Rack and offset input notes for each drum sound to generate unique rhythms.

* Alternatively, place an instance of Haste on individual drums and customize the settings for each voice to generate even stranger rhythms.

* You can choose the same value for Start and End and simply use it as a repeater for unique note lengths like 1/6.66 or 1/4.20

CHANGELOG

1.2.1:

* UI revamp

* Added velocity line function. Draw a line and Haste will map the values to the velocities of the notes output over the selected interval. Or switch it off and Haste will output a fixed velocity based on the input note.

1.2.0:

* Added Linear/Curved, Curve Param, and Skip settings. See descriptions above.

* Changed parameter labels: "Pitch Mod" is now "Pitch Mod Step" and "Mod Prob" is now "Pitch Mod"

* Changed Pitch Mod step values. Now allows for negative step values. Total range is -12st to 12st.

* UI / layout update to accommodate new settings

NOTE:

If you like the device and find it useful, consider tossing me a few bucks via the Gumroad link below. Included there is a bonus rack for Live 11 users that has some great snapshot presets to get you going.
