erratic erratic is a drum sample player with some added 'randomising' features to give variation on every cycle. The randomising is adjustable for each sample and can be switched off if desired. You can independantly adjust the randomisation of;
- hit probability for each of the steps in the sequencer for each sample
- hit velocity spread for each of the steps in the sequencer for each sample
- pitch variation for each sample
- swing (hit timing variation) for each sample
- swing on a global level (in addition to the per sample swing)
In addition, you can adjust
- hit velocity for each of the steps in the sequencer for each sample
- volume, panning and pitch for each sample
- minimum value for velocity sensitive lp filter cutoff
- global tightness (reduces the per sample swing)
- number of steps per bar (measure) 12/16/24/32
The samples are triggered in a step sequencer but can also be triggered by midi notes as per the GM standard for drums (see further down) or a mixture of both methods to get a balance of consistency and randomisation (eg the randomised beat in the step sequemcer and fills programmed in midi piano roll)
erratic is a multi-out VST, this means each sample is output to a different mixer channel. You need to set your host to see erratic as multi-out and whichever mixer channel you route erratic to, the output will be to this and the following 7 mixer channels.
NOTE: To get any sound out of erratic, midi note 24, note C2 needs to be held (*assuming scale of C0-C10 with C5 as middle C) either in the piano roll or by midi keyboard. Release this note and erratic will not output any sound. This is done to give control over when erratic plays in your track and also to enable partial patterns to be played.
Installation
Extract the erratic.dll file to your VST folder
Extract the erratic_samples folder to C:/Program Files/
erratic has demo presets which use the samples in this folder and needs to be on this path to work. You can of course install the samples wherever you wish, but then you will need to manually load the samples for the presets to work
You can of course load your own samples from any folder. You do not need to install any other samples in C:/Program Files/, only the preset samples
You will need to set your host to see erratic as a multi-out VST
