Reduce MIDI Transformer
Reduce MIDI Transformer
This device subtracts notes from your clip by muting them. It is a quick and easy way to reduce the busy-ness of a clip. I made it after finding that I wanted a density knob on all of my generators and realized that density reduction is a great general-purpose transformation. Truthfully, this is something that Pattern Transform can do (along with a whole lot of other things), but this transformation deserves a simple, easy-to-use dedicated device.
The device uses a modified version of the Euclidean algorithm to control which notes are muted. With the Clustering dial at 0%, the device uses the Euclidean algorithm and selects the notes evenly. Clustering allows you to shift the muting pattern so that notes that neighbor one another are more likely to be muted.
