In time! I basically turned this drum kit into an entirely new and novel instrument, and now i have to "learn it". i was out of practice anyway, and now it's like an entirely new world. really fun.
The nutshell explanation: there's a kind of generative synth playing random walks + a variable amount of distortion. playing different parts of the kit in different ways pushes the "character" of the noise in different directions - but it's all triggered from actual acoustic playing, no knob-fiddling and silent button pushing bullshit. Directly controllable are:
- "Chaos level" - randomness of the scales, intensity of distortion, etc. this decays slowly back to baseline, so you can spike it up and let it drop or kind of keep nudging it along at a level
- standard reverb and delay
- tempo of the overall notes generated (on the hi hat pedal)
- pitch range of the notes generated (on another pedal), from high down to obscene rumbling bass
There are some other nuances, but that's the main idea. A living, surprising noisy partner that responds to the way the drummer is playing. designed for solo drumming when being the only musician in the room is otherwise boring as fuck
