@VCVRackIdeas What if it worked like refrigerator magnets? But instead of placing them on your refrigerator (which has no concept of rhythm), instead you place the virtual magnets on a timeline, like this?
I had a little whiskey, so that might be very difficult to understand. It would play the top row, then the second row, then the third, etc. And each row would contain 1-bar split into 16 sections.
So, the above would sound like…
Out__of_____time. Out_of_______time. Out____of_time.
There could be 4 rows, and in addition 16 “snapshots” of rows that you could control via CV. (Essentially, the snapshots would act like a built-in Stoermelder 8FACE .
As for word selection, we could use existing research (such as Analysis of Billboard’s Top 100 Songs and Lyrics (1964-2015)) to choose 128 words or so to make available.
I could synthesize the words - Or maybe we could let people create “packs” of recorded words? A pack would contain a folder of samples and a file that lists what words are available and which sample is associated with which word, and how long the magnet should be for each word. Very interesting!
I created another mock up to show that there would be a “pool” of words to choose from:
