TATAT

TATAT generates an infinite and always changing sequences of notes.

You cannot say exactly what TATAT will do, but you can suggest a path to it: by setting up its parameters you can create what we call a mood for TATAT.
A mood is a configuration of notes, intervals, time fragmentation, velocity fluctuation, and other factors.

Once you set a mood that you are happy with, you’ll listen to an infinite stream of events, always changing, all staying in the mood.


At this point, according to your needs, you can:

• Let TATAT play its stream, and make some intervention to control it: to add silence (Less), to obtain smooth accelerando and ritardando (Ratio), to control how TATAT generates intervals. You can enable Key In function to change notes on the fly (with a keyboard, or just feeding TATAT with a MIDI clip).
• Add some stability by controlling/automating the Liv/Mem slider, moving between the generated stream and frozen patterns.
• Use TATAT to send its notes to enrich (by enabling Thru) existing/incoming MIDI data/parts.
• Export a nice mood as a series of MIDI files/clip: just click on the export icon and drag it in you session or where you prefer. For each time you’ll drag it, TATAT will create a new variation of the mood! This is a great feature to create a set of coherent ideas/lines/riffs as a starting point for a new project.

Last but not least: TATAT gives you excellent results both with melodic/harmonic and percussive parts!

TIME

• Time Resolution – Set numerator and time signature for time resolutions
• Time Resolutions Multislider – Set chance for each time resolution to be selected
• Ratio – Scale all time resolutions by this factor

PITCH

• Notes – Set notes for the stream
• Notes Multislider – Set chance for each note to be triggered
• Keys Input – If enabled, user sets up to 4 notes with incoming MIDI notes

BICHORDS

• Bichords Chance – Set the chance that a bichord is triggered
• Bichords Intervals – Set intervals for bichords
• Bichords Selection – Set the chance to pick up interval 1 or 2 when a bichord is triggered

PROCESS

• Velocity Main Value – Set main velocity value
• Velocity Variation Mode – Set to add or subtract variation value to main value
• Velocity Variation Value – Set a variation value to add or subtract to main value
• Less Value – Set the chance to mute some notes
• Delay Value – Set a delay value for generated notes (0-100% of time resolution)
• Delay Random Mode – If enabled, delay value will be the higher value for random operations
• Delay Mode – Mute or play dry notes
• Lentgh Value – Set note length (0-100% of original length)
• Length Random Mode – If enabled, length value will be the higher value for random operations

MEMORY

• Buffer Length – Set buffer length. This value will affect the other parameters/actions in Memory section.
• Liv-Mem – If equal to 0%, then the generated notes are recorded in a buffer with given length (Buffer Length), live notes are triggered. If different from 0%, then recording stops, the buffer is locked, and this value become the chance to play live notes or buffer content. If equal to 100%, then just buffer content will be played in loop, as a frozen pattern.
• Export Clips – Click and drag to export MIDI files with a given length, in DAW timeline or clipslots, or in desktop/folders you want. Each time you click and drag, TATAT will export a new variation of the current mood.
• Thru – Let incoming MIDI notes pass thru
• Play – Enable/Disable the stream
