multi-sound multi-track wobble with drumracks

ok, i know everone has been dying to hear this...simmer's superwobbler rack

make 3 very different simpler wobblers, like this:

make 3 very different Operator wobblers, kinda like this, but nastier:

drop all 6 into a drum rack, ya see where im going?

dupe some of the simplers placing the loop start point in different places

fill a few more slots with glitch, vox samples...anything you like..

midi map the hell out of it, automating Rate, LFO, cutoffs, to macros, invert some ranges...

NOW....draw your fuktup wobble in drumrack, OR, my fav...Play (and rec) it from a midi controller along to the beat...once you lay down the midi you can rec it to another audiotrack while you knobbfiddle the rack...

add fx to the whole rack, or just certain slots...

lemme know if that needs more detail

SAVE the whole thing and its ready to use...takes a bit of setting up, but sooo worth it in the long run..

cool, lemme know if you come up with any innovations on it...and def link me a track you do..

you can resample the rec'd track too, slice to new midi on 1/2 notes and mangle further...
