You can only play one Stutter Gesture at a time, and one Generator Gesture at a time.
HOWEVER you can play one of each at the same time. Generator Gestures can also feed
their output into whatever Stutter Gesture you are playing via the Stutter Gate Send control
in the Generator Panel. This makes for some really mind-blowing effects. Try it!
Note: If a key location is empty, you’ll see the Inactive light – to make that
location into either a Stutter or Generator gesture, simply click the Stutter or
Generator light.
TIP: Try switching between a few Stutter gestures while you’re holding down a
Generator gesture key. This is a great way to create dynamic transitions that
sound like they were made in a studio with hours of careful editing and
automation! No one has to know you were only pressing two keys-- we promise
we won’t tell.
Recording Your Effect Performance as MIDI
If you’re working in the studio, and want to capture the awesome combinations of gestures
you’re playing, remember to record onto a MIDI track as you trigger gestures from your
controller. Your sequencer will capture your key presses and play them back for you. And of
course, if you want to change when gestures start, or swap between different ones, you can
simply move notes around with your host program’s MIDI piano roll editor just like you
would for a virtual instrument.
Or, you might prefer to actually manually enter notes into your piano roll view, or a step
sequencer if your host provides one, to trigger Stutter Edit’s Gestures. This is also a good
way of working with Stutter Edit in a production setting.
