The knobs
Density to Humanize.
These five controls are the writing session. Sparse to busy, stiff to alive — without leaving the grid.
- Density
- How many notes land. Open it up for air. Push it when the part needs to move.
- Variation
- Phrase movement from bar to bar. Lock it when you like the shape and want to keep exploring around it.
- Velocity
- How hard the part hits. Soft stabs or a part that sits up in the mix.
- Micro-Time
- Swing and pocket. Lock it to hold the groove while you change everything else.
- Humanize
- Timing and velocity that feel played, not quantized. Groove-safe when you want the grid to stay honest.
Musical context
Genre. Section. Scale.
Lab does not guess in a vacuum. You tell it the world, then Generate inside it.
- Genre
- Auto plus twelve profiles with major and minor progression banks — Pop, and the rest of the room.
- Section
- Verse, Chorus, Drop, Break. Same key, different job.
- Preset
- Starting points like Warm Stabs, then your own Custom.
- Scale
- Eight types, including modal and harmonic minor. Lock the scale so Generate stays in key.
Generate
One button. Then print.
Chord, Arp, Melody, or Mono on a 16th grid. Bar lengths from ½ to 16. Host tempo or 20–999 BPM. Capture, import PPQ MIDI, drag out.
- Play type
- Chord, Arp, Melody, Mono — with rhythm and pitch locks so you can keep what works.
- Time
- 4/4, 3/4, 2/4, 5/4, 6/8, 7/8, 12/8. Link Get follows the host.
