KPro: 16beats below 108,5 -> 48sec loop@20bpm

Post by JJP »

edit:
IT WORKS!

using the arp you can create ultrafast patterns on 110bpm, slow down to 20pm (or more) and get dreamy patterns which last for 48seconds for ONE LOOP!
then you can add layers - 8beat layers below 108,5bpm, down to 2beat layers on 20bpm.

Its really fantastic and I think I will keep the KPro cause of this (!).
In this first try I used arps for drum patterns at 120bpm and added other quick sounds (should be high, cause of the pitchdown - use fullscale and C' key). As finishing move I added a 2beat drumloop at 20bpm.

--------------------------
If I record 16beats on... 120bpm. and pitch the record down to 90bpm. It is still a 16beat loop. A new recorded layer will be only 8beats long, though.

Strange somehow. The old layer runs along, even if the new layer starts with "1" again. And maybe usefull, it might be possible to get the full 16beats on let's say 90bpm. You have to record on > 108,5bpm, and calculate the pitch!? Or....

I guess it can play 16beats even at 20bpm (!!!) because the soundmemory used is the same, it just plays the old recorded full memory at a slower pace.

....A 20bpm a 16beat/108,5bpm loop last for 48secs!!! wtf?....
There has to be a way to abuse this :twisted:

I noticed this last night, recorded some sounds @ 120bpm, knocked it down all the way to 20bpm and it definitely played the 16 beats!

But could only record @ 2 beats in the lower bpm.
