Breaks
Break beat/ buffer cut patch
A continuously cycling buffer is cut up at various beat lengths, related to the tap tempo, then played back randomly.
Here’s a quick demo:
| Control | Parameter | Left LED | Right LED |
|---|---|---|---|
| Left knob | Delay feedback | ||
| Right knob | Mix (wet/ dry) | ||
| Encoder button (single click) | Toggle break/ cut density or buffer length | Red = phasor speed, green = buffer length | |
| Encoder button (double click) | Toggles forward and reverse buffer playback | ||
| Encoder | Break density or buffer length amount | Red = break density, green = buffer length | |
| Left button | Tap tempo | Delay speed | |
| Right button | Freezes buffer |
Open the patch breaks.pd in Plugdata to get an idea of how it works.
You can also flash the binary file directly to the pedal using the web interface (see the guide to flashing using the web.
