Nota Beat Repeat
Nota Beat Repeat grabs a short slice of what’s playing and repeats it, in time — snare rolls, end-of-bar fills, vocal chops, glitchy stutters.
How it works: every Interval (shifted by Offset) it rolls the dice — Chance. When it fires, it captures a Grid-long slice and loops it until the Gate ends, each repeat pitched, faded and filtered.
Timing
Section titled “Timing”| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Interval · Offset | How often it may fire, and where in the bar |
| Grid | Slice length; Triplet turns the grid into triplets |
| Variation | Lets the grid float a few steps per trigger |
| Chance | Probability of firing at each interval |
| Gate | How long the repeating lasts |
| Repeat · Latch | Force a repeat now, as long as it’s held (or latched on) |
The Timeline tab shows capture and repeats over two intervals; Slices shows the interval’s sound with the offset, gate and slice on it — drag them.
Character
Section titled “Character”Pitch (and Pitch decay per repeat — a dive), Decay (each repeat quieter), Volume, and the Filter: on / off, LP, BP or HP, Freq and width, optionally narrowing with repeats.
