EZ Gen~ Tute 006 :: Ratcheting 101

EZ Gen~ Tute 006 :: Ratcheting 101

In our final beginner level EZ Gen~ MaxMSP tutorial we're covering one more foundational sequencer technique that dates back to the 1970s - step "ratcheting".

You'll often hear the popularisation of technique being attributed to Tangerine Dream. In the analogue / modular world we might need a handful of modules to accomplish this - but in Gen~ we've already learned the tools we need to add this to our sequencer - and it's quick + dead simple. Amens ahoy! But don't forget this technique is equally powerful on melodic sequences too.

We'll revisit and expand ratcheting (along with some of our other techniques) in the next series of intermediate tutorials soon.
