Version 1.0 Changes

Rhythmic Intelligence:

For Kicks: Generates powerful, driving techno patterns, often based on the classic “four-on-the-floor” structure, but enhanced with subtle rhythmic variations and accents for extra punch.
For Hats and Percussion: Creates faster, syncopated (off-beat, 16th-note) patterns with plenty of velocity variations (ghost notes) to add groove and movement.

For Polyrhythmic Tracks: Frequently uses odd pattern lengths (such as 7, 11, 13, or 15 steps) to build hypnotic rhythmic tension.

Melodic Intelligence

(For Synths and Basslines):
Scale Awareness: The generator now understands music theory. It first selects a musical scale (e.g., C Minor) and stays within it, ensuring the result is always coherent and musical.

Motif Generation: Instead of random notes, it now creates short melodic ideas — like arpeggios or repeating sequences — that evolve and vary naturally, mimicking how a human musician might build a techno motif.

3. Sound Randomization (Instrument Editor Button):
The “Randomize” logic in the InstrumentPresetManager (which affects sound design) has been made significantly smarter.

Sound Archetypes: Rather than producing completely random values, the generator now works with specific techno sound archetypes.
Example: When randomizing a kick, instead of choosing any decay value at random, it first decides whether to create a “Deep Sub,” “Hard Punch,” or “Tight Click.” It then fine-tunes parameters within the defined ranges for that archetype.

This applies across all sound engines, resulting in far more musical, useful, and inspiring sounds with every click.
