Basslines can't get any easier than this!

the gamut repetitor makes creating baselines super addicting noise engineering who are not sponsoring this video I bought this thing with my own damn money are experts at creating my personal favorite a controlled randomized workflow when it comes to their sequencers the gamut repetitor takes what I was literally trying to achieve with multiple modules and just slams it into one zooming out it has four pitch outputs and four trigger outputs that follow the four trigger inputs I got something plugged into one 2 3 and four are normal so they'll just kind of follow along now based on the input the gamut will create randomized pitch and Trigger outputs at these four outputs then using the length knob you grab a loop of whatever you just heard and it keeps it there and then this is where the magic happens because you can then use the spread knob the up and down knob the flavor and the count switches to perform that Loop without ever losing it and then if that's not all I realized using my old techniques and hacks that I was doing before I can freak the gamut out way more than I originally thought it's insane buckle up because this one is going to be sick let's dive in so I got a little pattern here on the digit attack no Baseline right we'll start turning up our length to Infinity this means it's just going to Forever keep creating a random pattern but our spread is set to zero so it can't spread up or down two octaves yet but I'll start turning that [Music] up right listen to that and then I can open up our filter we'll take the kick out this will change whether it's going above or below the root note and if it's in the middle it's going up an octave or down an octave depending on how far I turn my spread up maybe I want it to only go up right or lower here let's go mute some more of these things let's go even [Music] lower listen to this maybe I don't want that much spread maybe I like what I just heard right you turn this look for the LED to turn red that'll be uh lengths that are divisible by two so think two steps four steps eight steps 16 steps it's an easy way to kind of gauge where you're at maybe I just want four right listen to this this is where like stuff gets wild so in this little setup here this is our clock changing our gamut repetitor but I can freak this pattern out by changing the clock because the gamut is not necessarily receiving clock information it's just receiving trigger input puts and depending on those trigger inputs will then step it one more step within its randomized generated sequence if that makes sense so watch right I have B sending a reset to it so then I can take a couple steps out maybe another one [Music] right so with just like changing up the sequence that's going into it you can open up this world of weird crazy baselines that totally go with whatever you're working on and again because I know that I'm in c minor I tune this to c I can change my root note or not and while this Loop is still playing this four-step loop I can increase whether the notes go up how far they spread or how many lengths or how many steps are in this length purple means divid divisible by two or three so this is probably six steps and again you take a couple of these [Music] out now the only thing I wish that the the gamut did which is something that I was able to do with scales on my old setup is that scales will constantly be receiving and quantizing its pitch information but it won't send that pitch information out until it receives a trigger now the gamut it's always receiving and sending out pitch information independent of its trigger outputs so watch if I turn this up you can hear here how it's kind of like sliding around I wish that it only sent out pitch information when the trigger was but I know those crazy fools at noise engineering could probably update this not saying they will don't know haven't even mentioned this to them but I wish I did that and that would be freaking awesome but this already the fix for me is just to shorten this up make a little bit more of a Stato Baseline and now open this up maybe let's go to eight steps oh here's the crazy thing I haven't even touched flavor and count yet so count will increase how many notes are in the selected scale right now we're just doing like a trionic or something it's basically three notes within the scale this is five notes within the scale maybe a little less and then flavor is going to be what type of minor scale it is so there's major minor and then symmetrical I don't know what SYM is all I know is I'm living in the minor or the major leagues and then I'm going to open up flavor and move this around to get a new kind of playable [Music] mode right here's this is cool and now I'm just shifting the bias of these notes [Music] maybe add a couple more triggers in there and then close it [Music] up open it [Music] up and this is CV aable to the flavor and the count will be controlled by the scale CV input and then the major minor and Sy ym is going to be controlled by this Jack here but again you can kind of just play these around and flip the switches as you like cuz kind of my favorite thing to do is just to kind of hear where it lands right open this up a [Music] bit and the reason I have it clocked from here not just straight 16 inputs is because I wanted to have a bit more control over the speed of the tempo because if this is just fullon 16 it's a little too much a little too randomized for me and I like to have a bit more control [Music] right maybe we randomize it again go even further on the spread grab that whatever that [Music] was so this is cool but I want it to be [Music] not so fast right maybe a little faster here oh see now that's a perfect example that last note boom is that one more step in the sequence it's going to be the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 eth randomized moment that the gamut has created that we are now looping but I can erase that in a sense by just going to four steps [Music] oh that's kind of [Music] dope and again like you can see that I got number four going to our shape that's controlling the shape here these are all other CVS that are randomized based on the input of number one because 2 three and four are normal 2 3 and four here are not following necessarily what random generation happened on outputs one 2 3 and four are independently random generations of whatever that sequence is does that make sense I feel like I just rambled on there for a second so sometimes I'll just take two and send that to the shape and see what that sounds like that's kind of cool open up our filter so we can really hear it now let's go to three and see what that sounds like [Music] yo that already almost sounds like it added triggers but it totally didn't and look now I take this and go [Music] down and if I don't like it you get to explore controlled Randomness right bring that back up [Music] now let's try changing up the flavor maybe we don't like this we want to go down a little oh I didn't like that at all that's kind of cool now what if we went [Music] down how about here now we had The Sweet Spot ah now now let's let's see where else we can take this right we'll take four and send it to something else how about we take four and send it to the [Music] spread yo that is so subtle but so tight without it then with it and then take it out again right put it into something like the Navigator so we have control over it go out of here go back into our [Music] [Applause] [Music] spread oh so something happened there that you might not have caught and it's probably going to be impossible for me to recreate but it's interesting to know I've noticed this between intelligel and noise engineering and honestly any manufacturer but when it comes to latency and Trigger speeds and readouts and all that stuff they all kind of vary so once in a while this and this will communicate in a weird way where this is now sending out triggers to this almost one step behind but because I have track B set to being the reset for this it eventually falls back on and what's cool is it actually adds this weird like glitch in The Matrix that sounds kind of trippy and grabs your attention but because track A's triggers are still in the same place it's triggering the triggers at the same time but then the pitch is kind of moved so it just does this funky thing and again it'll probably be impossible for me to recreate this let me save this real fast just so I don't lose it cuz I actually really like this a lot let's see if it if it'll do it basically what it sounds like is like this and then it puts itself back on and that's another reason why I like having B Be My reset because if I were to go and like load this and we go and look at B I can move this [Music] around and put it back on right maybe push it here then bring this down oh [Music] yo yo what about here ah [Music] [Applause] [Music] now here's the thing unlike the mimic digitalis on here you can actually save up to eight different uh settings that you really liked on the gamut there's no saving it's kind of this like beautiful improvi just love it and get it and generate it and just play with it and have fun and then it's gone so unless you record it it's going to be gone luckily for me I can just go ahead and record it here so let me grab this real quick because this is actually super tight I'm going to go ahead and open up my filter for this all right so that was a good one let's go ahead and change our reset to C now we're going to go ahead and arm this again but you get the idea grab them while you can because the gamut will not save any of your sequences but again it's just like say I didn't save this and I wanted to try something new it's tight you just go to [Music] infinity and there's something new right there and again you're in scale you're in key it all works you change up the flavor a bit maybe make it a little more simpler add a little bit more to the count go back to a add some more in there play it off right ah either way my friend I appreciate you so much if you want to support the channel I sell midi hats and shirts at this site here but you g it's more than enough I hope to see you again next week and until then you already know the trill share the love share the knowledge knowledge is power peace [Music] [Music]
