Sound Example: Accumulator/PeerTune

To create wild and crazy drumloops, do this:

1) In the beginning there was sound, so load some percussion samples.

2) Next we need to set up the machines. Add a Groove 1 (optional), a BTDSys peerctrl and a BTDSys stutter (both required). Connect the looper to the master (or route it through other fx).

3) Time to get some weirdness going. Set the Groove 1 to 48 swing. Then, for each track in the stutter (I prefer not to use more than 3 tracks because more just creates cacophony), create an assignment in the peerctrl and link it to '[T] 6: Loop Time' Set slightly different value mappings for each assignment/track, but keep them very very close to the bottom of the drawing area.

4) Ok, we have it all set up, so it's time to edit the stutter patterns. Bring up the pattern editor and enter some 1's and 0's where you want them on some or all tracks. I find it works best when you enter a 0 (off) immediately after each 1 (on) - it keeps the loop neater. When you're done, create a pattern for the Groove 1 and add a 1 in the trigger field.

5) Move to the sequencer and add your sequence(s) for the Stutter and the Groove 1. I usually just paste the Groove 1 pattern all the way down to the end of the song, so when I click elsewhere in the song to play from there, the Groove doesn't trip.

6) Prepare to boogy! Press play!

Tip: If you're not satisfied with the loop you've created, tweak the value mappings in the peerctrl.

Accumulator/PeerTune	Date: 2009-11-10	Author: tinga	Viewed 3018 times
Hello everybody, again me, a small review about accumulator and peer tune, this bmx works only in the new Buzz with the updated BTDSys machines. Its a sequencer where you can control rhythms and melodies with the command 04, the combination accumulator peer scale or peer tune is very effective, tell me if you want more explanation about this template, but i think its a basic thing . Accumulator patterns system with... Peer Tune PeerLFO (the new version for new Buzz) PeerCTRL (the new version for new Buzz) PeerState (the updated version for new Buzz) http://btdsys.lazytrap.com Green Milk Unwieldy Delay3 HALYVerb Transient2 Patterns lengths are 1tick to 4096 (lfo update freq * accumulator threshold) select rhythms with track 01 (2) values A or B in accumulator "com4/rh_sel" select melodies with track 01 values A or B in accumulator "com4/FFFE" select rhythms patterns length with threshold value track 0 in accumulator "patterns_length" select melodies patterns length with threshold value track 1 in accumulator "patterns_length" the bmx is on stop, to play just open the peer state(patch_bnk) and select a patch, no patterns in pattern editor, peer machines do everything, some patchs are generative.
