I got the idea to use an arpeggiator to create patterns for found sound percussion and I just had to try it out and share with you.
00:25 – I started out with recording a variety of sounds from a pen.
00:50 – Chopped the recording manually to ensure the splits are in the correct place.
01:40 – I then render each item as a new take, which creates a new audio file for each of the sounds.
You can see the new files in the Media Explorer.
02:00 – I load up Kontakt 5, make a new instrument (double-click), show the mapping editor view, and drag the selected files from the media explorer to the mapping editor.
03:10 – In Kontakt’s script editor load the preset for sequencing>arpeggiator
Now play any combination of notes and the sounds play in tempo with the project.
4:45 – As an alternative to Kontakt’s Arpeggiator you can use one included with REAPER, JS: MIDI Arpeggiator.
It was a fun experiment and I think this could be used really effectively with the right samples and post-processing.
