Re: ORGANIC programming and looping
Sometimes I'll modulate filter cutoff or panning of percussion samples
by a tiny increment from a random (S/H) LFO of speed 0. So with each
hit the sound changes in a very subtle way. You could take forever to
do the programming by hand, but that's what LFOs are there for.
Good luck.
