Is it possible to have only certain (selected) notes (in a bar) to be effected by an FX particularly in RANDOM?
For example, I have a drum loop with BD, SD, HH, PERCS, TOMS.
I would like Random fx to only effect Percs and toms, so that the base rhythm stays same, only “fills”=perc/toms change.
Is it possible, or do I just have to make another loop with notes (percs/toms) that I want randomised?
Thanks
You’ll want to split the drums to more than one track. In case you haven’t noticed, multiple tracks can share the same MIDI channel, which allows placing control data on separate track from notes and selected or even individual drums on separate tracks. FX affects just the track, not channel so this allows for fine-grained FX on the drums.
The general advice on the board seems to be placing each drum on a track of their own for total control. I’m personally a bit torn over that, for my uses it feels more trouble than its worth most of the time, but at any rate you’ll want to separate the base rhythm to a track of its own and fill components to one or more additional tracks.
Thanks @pmatilai very sound advice.
I know they can share multiple tracks and midi channels, didn’t try split them individually per track, seems overkill.
I made up some similar templates for drums like that (and synths)…BD+SD,
Too bad I can’t set probability per note like on Elektron gear like in Octatrack
I didn’t think it could be done, but you never know, maybe it could…
I don’t know how per-note probability works on the Octratrack, but on the Pyramid you can change the FX parameters such as probability via effects stepmode step-lock automation. So you can set probability per step, and if the notes (especially for drums) are split across separate tracks, you get something to that direction at least.
Thanks, that’s it. ^^^
BTW, on OT, you can assign just about anything to a step, but that’s another story.
