This has to do with multiply, and undo. Build a small rhythmic loop,one bar, say 4 beats long. Then multiply that with while overdubbing with varied playing (for example make 8 multiples or 8 bars). This is the seed to try out the bug. Take those 8 bars, use multiply again, and create a 1 bar loop (from just one of those 4 beat bars). Then, using undo you can step through each of the individual 4 beat multiples (8 bars) that you created when you did the 8 bar multiple. Often one or more of them has an interesting sound that I did not expect. This works really well with looping drums and syncopated sounds. You have to try it to see how it sounds. Using this process you can evolve a rhythmic track with unpredicted variations that evolve into different feelings from the beginning seed, but still sounding connected to the orignal. bret __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
