Automatic variation generation

When keys remain unoccupied, the application will populate them with automatically generated, musically useful playback variations. The way these variations are generated depends on their sample attributes.

For loops

Variations for samples with the 'loop' attribute set, will alternate between rhythmically useful pitch frequency multiples. This includes, for example, 2x speed ups, 2x slow downs and their reversed variants.

Overlaying the variants over their original samples, can yield interesting drones and novel rythmical patterns. Overlaying higher pitched variants can further mask any loss in high frequencies in case of severe downsampling.

For all other types

Variations for all other samples will alternate between slightly pitched up and pitched down variants. This also includes their reversed variants.
