More audio examples

Audio demo credits: audio example #1 and both sfx examples used Reaktor Session Carbon synth // slap bass patterns played on Scarbee's J-Slap library //  original sliced loop and example #2 sequence provided by MadPlayer // example #3 and triplet drums tracks programmed using Q Up Arts Steve Gadd DrumScores.

Drums loops content excessive reverb level to avoid unauthorized resampling.

phrase composer / intelligent arpeggiator    

    The phrase composer / intelligent arpeggiator generates midi sequences that you can control in real time. 

    In audio example #1, I press one key on my keyboard (well.. let's say C3), the arpeggio launches a sequence that I modify on the fly playing with the different parameters. The arpeggiator melodic content is the musician tool box (arpeggio, scales, lines, ...) but the real innovation concerns the rhythm: several hundreds of rhythmic and accent patterns have been captured from musicians (drummer, percussionnist, programmer,...)  to keep the human touch and natural feel of the specific styles. Of course any rhythm / accent / melody combination is available. This allows to create and endless range of creative grooves: put Salsa accent on a TB303 line, map a drum track swing on a sequence (audio example #2), build a melodic line from a special fx (audio example #3), etc... 

This technology is one more step from computer production to artificial intelligence for composing. 

Applications 

    This project is implemented into Wave Idea's MIDI controller BitStream 3X featuring a full 3D control using joystick and an infrared or ribbon controller. Playing the Enhanced Arpeggiator on this hardware is pure fun.

    A software version (which is still looking for publisher / dealer) allows humanization fine tuning and contents pattern banks for specific applications. The software is able to handle drum kits, virtual sampler instrument articulations (see audio examples), sliced loops, etc... In addition you will have a harmony and chord generation module. A lot of features like the 4 points XY morphing makes the playing more and more fascinating.
