Digitone 1: Requesting "Strum" parameter for chords
#1
Hi all,

Some MIDI controllers and DAW based MIDI effects contain a 'strum' feature, where there is a slight delay between each note in a chord. Imagine tapping your fingers down one after another, instead of hitting a chord with all fingers simultaneously.

It would be cool if there was a bipolar parameter for chords in the Digitone that did this, where turning the parameter up beyond 12 o'clock created a strum from low notes to high notes with increasing delay, and turning it down below 12 o'clock did a downward strum from upper to lower notes. 

This would allow for more articulate arrangements. Bonus if it's P-lockable. 

You can currently fake this effect with the arpeggiator, but there's no control over the notes being held, and you can't turn it off, so every note must be arpeggiated. Not ideal for the sort of expressive arrangement that calls for the feature in the first place. 

Either way, hoping that someone finds the idea handy enough to develop. Wish I had the time and resources to devote to it myself! Have a good day!

I think I can likely get this working with some slight adjustments to Digitables. I will let you know later Smile

Only thing I know will end up being a problem is the 8 voice limitation.

Exciting! I'll keep an eye out!

Curious, in what way is the 8-voice limitation an issue? Something technical, or just that we all wish DN1 had 16 or more voices (lol)?

Well a strum is really a bunch of notes "adding up" over time to create a chord. Each note would be a separate voice. So you could at max have like, a 2 4 note strums, (I think?) before voice borrowing starts occurring.



Got this working already!

You can now select a step on the table builder to "add" to the chord.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

I def want to get it integrated into the LFO system because that would obviously sound wicked. Obviously theres a lot of empty slots to be filled with useful tools as well!
