gotchas:

- "Scale must be loaded BEFORE the downstream instrument receives notes — otherwise Live plays equal-tempered."
|
|
77
|
+
- "MPE works only when the downstream instrument is MPE-capable (Meld, Wavetable with MPE on, Granulator III, etc.)."
|
|
78
|
+
- "Lead/Follow sync requires Live 12.1+."
|
|
79
|
+
- "Some instruments ignore pitch bend beyond ±2 semitones — check the instrument's pitch-bend range before loading exotic scales."

Clip-based MIDI transformer by Philip Meyer. Takes an existing clip and

5

applies organic timing, pitch, and velocity phase-shifts to produce

human-feeling variations. Unlike random quantization, Phase Pattern uses

7

phase relationships between parameters — timing offset can drive velocity
|

8

swing, pitch can drive timing. The result has coherent 'musicianship'
