this except the exact opposite of those first two so you understand that sucking at something is part of the creative process

There was a falling out among the staff cause Freque is a sexist ass, he was the only one that stuck around, and now it's all gone.  No real loss other than those really nice LSDJ and you articles, if you ask me.

]This is really interesting I always wondered what the vib type setting did cause I couldn't hear the difference. I tried it with the L command and it produces the correct sound that I want but now the bend STARTS on the note that I wanted it to end with and I can't seem to tell it where to end either, maybe this is me not knowing where I should be placing the commands but I have tried to fix it myself to no avail.

Vibe type affects V commands, P commands, and L commands. 

There is no way to make the bend instantly resolve, L commands just slides pitch from the previous note to the note the L command was placed on.  Try placing the not you are placing sooner than step F maybe?  this will all be affected by BPM too, if I remember correctly.

Dang I wish I could go sad

Care to elaborate please...? I get what you mean, but I'm not exactly sure how you implement this tongue


Uh sure.  So basically, the second digit in the H command tells it which line to jump to, and the first digit tells it how many times to do that, with 0 being infinite.

So in something like this (ignore the q commands, they are for midi fuckery)

The arpeggiator goes from line 0 through 3, 3 times and then 6-A, one time, and then C-E, on to infinity.

Some things to remember with this is that the value in the TSP column doesn't play until it goes "Through" it.  So only on the time that it goes on through the "Gate"

Also, nothing says you have to keep the two columns in the same "Gate" structure.  You could have one for modulation, and one for the transpose.

(Also if you wanna try this table for yourself that first groove leads to a grove of 6/6)





But yeah, gated hops are ALSO a great way to add life to long notes, because you can bring in different types of modulation in through the sustain.

Yeah.  Just use the transpose.  You can alter the speed of the arpegiation, and you can even set up hop gates so the chord "evolves" over the length of it.

From my own experience, if the musical parts of your art, and the narrative parts of your art are separate enough that you can ask this question, maybe you should do some self-editing.

For me, that connection you can form, when the story you want to tell is told as best as you could ever possibly do, because it is so tied to this other element that you cant imagine the story being told any other way.

But I'm just some fuck, every artist is different, make something you're proud of smile
