I assume there is an easy way to do this or a Class made specifically for this, as there usually is, but I can’t seem to find what I am looking for.
I have a pattern for drums. It’s in 7/8 I guess, in a Psync, not that I think that matters, as I can use any Pseq for the drum pattern and this still happens.
My goal is to humanize the timing, so I thought doing a Pwhite().asArray for the \dur would do what I want, but when the stream restarts, often theres a short note right before the down beat that sounds off. I couldn’t seem to get what I wanted with \legato either as it will mess up my sounds that have sustains like cymbals.
I guess I’m looking for something to slightly change the timing, but also consider the down beats, so that it doesn’t play something right before the “1”, if that makes sense.
Another idea I had was to Pwhite the \dur, but somehow “normalize” the pattern to fit into a bar? Not sure how I’d implement it though.
As an example:
(
Pdef(\drums,
Pn(
Psync(
Pbind(*[
instrument: \drums
num: Pseq([[17,0],\rest,17,33,\rest,33,17], inf),
dur: Pseq(Pwhite(0.24,0.255).asArray, inf), // humanize?
\amp, Pwhite(0.75,1),
]),1,7,
))
).play(quant:1);
)
