Starting with the bleedin' obvious and moving through to the "sounds bad now but wait a minute" method, here's five pattern creation techniques. Along the way there's a few extra tips and tricks including the rare "zero gate" option.<br />It's a bit long but I thought it was worthwhile to show the full process rather than just cut in all the bits that worked on the first attempt. Watching videos where everything works perfectly and then not being able to instantly replicate that success can be a bit disheartening so there's quite a bit of tweaking and deleting.<br />Hopefully here the joy of just experimenting, looping, randomly deleting and poking comes through. Just delete the crap and keep going :D<br /><br />0:00 1) The slow and obvious way<br />0:47 2) Real-time record with fake metronome<br />2:10 Second bar in real time<br />3:50 Using an external keyboard<br />6:05 3) The randomizer<br />6:30 The dog's breakfast<br />7:10 Random steps<br />8:20 Rotate start<br />8:45 Force to scale<br />10:55 Gate length<br />12:05 Hearing the gate length<br />12:50 The zero gate<br />13:45 Gates with filter mod<br />15:00 LFO on note reset<br />16:10 Pitch envelope<br />17:28 Fast random example 1<br />18:45 Fast random example 2<br />20:47 4) The internal arpegiator<br />26:45 5) Using an external arpegiator<br /><br />My site: <a href="https://richarddehove.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://richarddehove.com/</a><br />Lots of downloads for supporters on Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/richarddehove" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.patreon.com/richarddehove</a><br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTjsiD4p1As" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTjsiD4p1As</a>
