synplant and generative processing
Friday, October 2, 2009 at 12:47PM I decided to do some work with synplant again just using 2 generative chains but working on the helix alot this time as i did not touch it much with my last experiment.

So can you elaborate on the generative part? I've been all over you blog (nice stuff) looking for a clue how you do it or define it but although you reference it you don't define it much - is it just random control iand the Scale tool in Ableton?
In you vid I see you tweeking synplant CCs with your hands - so what's the generative part? This is not a criticism , I happen to use Noatikl mostly for generative stuff and Ive tried a few other things and I;m too cheap to buy Max (but I'm dying waiting for Max For Live) ..I'm always looking for other ways to have a computer generate musically interesting passages ....lately I've been using Sugar Bytes Eloquence which is a straight up sequencer , but that's only borderline 'generative' - although you can hit random and force the results into a key and scale rule (lydian, etc.) so I gues it generates a sequence
btw here was my one generative post on matrix synth a while back - with noatikl and synplant

In the video im using the nocturn to control volume of each channel thats it, as for the generative side of things basically there is one note in the midi clip and its going through several plugins that define the pitch, velocity, scale, and so on thats the basic idea of it, and more or less can be added or done to it and make it more complex.
