Description

zb.beatRepeat is a resampling audio effect, it regards the incoming audio in 16th slices, based on the Ableton Live tempo. These slices can then be repeated according to three different distribution probability curves.

The leftmost table represents a sequence of 16th notes. Each bar represents the likelihood of repeating a previous beat at that moment in time. Based on the size of the table this probability pattern can be in sync with the bars but can also phase in and out with the bars.

The middle table represents the slices from the past. The bars determine the likelihood of these slices to be chosen.

The rightmost table shows the probability distribution defining the duration of each occurred slice.

The xFade parameter sets the duration of crossfades when slicing.

The tabSize parameter sets the length of the repeat probability sequence, i.e. the leftmost table.
