Der Repeater

Exploring the Note Repeater

Another great little generator of ideas is the note repeater.

What is a Note Repeater?

Basically, it's almost like a delay.

1. Opening the Note Repeater:

   • If I just close down these modulators for a second and open my note repeater, let's find another sound which is a bit more bell-like, perhaps.

2. How It Works:

   • Once this effect is on, it's almost like a delay.
   • It is basically a MIDI repeater.
   • You can change various aspects of it, such as:
     • How many repeats you want
     • The delay is synced

Difference from Traditional Effects

Unlike a processed delay or echo, these really are repeated notes.

• They are repeated MIDI notes, which serves as an alternative to using a processing plugin, like an effect such as a delay or an echo.
• The key difference is that you're not affecting the overall sound; you're just affecting the actual notes themselves.

Practical Application

If you stop it, I mean, we're hearing a lot of notes because there are lots of repeats on here.

• I just had three repeats.

So, unlike an effect, unless you had a very complex delay effect, of which there are many complex delay effects, those affect the overall sound.

• Here, you're just affecting the MIDI note.

In summary, it's another alternative to using a delay.
