I spent quite some time on ixi to use more sampled sounds for our group’s second piece and left the SuperCollider portion of it really simple. I was using a couple of Pbinds in sync playing randomly around F dorian creating 2-note harmonies between them when it occurred to me the idea of using lower to create the effect of a walking bass.
I wanted to bring a swing feel by giving that sense of swingin’ eighth notes (quavers) and take the role of bass player in the group. This is the Pbind using the Prand for low notes from F dorian with note durations of 1/4 (4 per second)
Pdef(\cuatro, Pbind(\dur,Pseq([1/4],inf),\midinote, Prand([41,44,48,41,44,48,50,51,53,29,36,32,29,36,32],inf)))
By adding to the duration a value of 1/6 and having it constantly switching from 1/4 to 1/6, it gives to feel of a walking bass
Pdef(\cuatro, Pbind(\dur,Pseq([1/4,1/6],inf),\midinote, Prand([41,44,48,41,44,48,50,51,53,29,36,32,29,36,32],inf)))
