Extending the take parameter for percussion composition

Posted

Percussions in electronic composing are quite different from usual tonal instruments

The take parameter can be used for percussion compositing, but the way percussions are sampled make it particular.

One may have articulations linked to particular keynote.

So, instead of playing percussion with the keyboard (which is quite unnatural), one could just merely draw rythmic patterns, then assigning to each pattern segments an articulation corresponding to a particular keynote of the instrument.

This would extend in a particular way the articulation descriptions for percussive instruments.

hey, i find the idea of note editor pretty cool.

One could imagine three levels of edition:

-phrase editor
-segment editor
-note editor

associated with three levels of parameters edition.
