Yeah, I’ve realised that this is going to exercise me; at least until I’ve got a ‘proof of concept’ knocked out!
After posting up that graph (libreOffice chart) it occurred to me that I’m probably looking at something different to what I said at first glance (late at night, GMT).
On 2nd thoughts, this looks more like
- A tempo ‘Ramp’ up to ‘fast’, then
- 1-3 beats at a fixed tempo before the tempo jumps to another level
This 2nd phase now makes me think of using using a Square wave LFO to set the tempo at a rate for a few beats rather ‘continuously’ changing it (as would be unavoidable with Sine Triangle or one of the Saws.)
There’s a few ways of going about this, I think, depending partly how much is going to sequenced and how much ‘played’.
My most recent Midihub projects have been more about facilitating live timbral manipulation rather than rhythmic or scale oriented. SO I think I’ll post up an intro to the Midihub forum to see whether any of the sequencer folk there have already played with this or wanna throw in a thought or two.
PS. For those who might get Midihub or are awaiting arrival, I wouldn’t recommend owt like this as first project! It’s more that Midihub is so neatly built around simple but well thought-out building blocks that it lends itself to those tempting “I wonder how you’d…” kinda rabbit-holes. Be warned!
