Well, well, here's one I've been enjoying lately...
It uses an Aux event I never really used very much before - "Swap All
trk n"
First I have a track with a simple bassline in it pootling along
harmlessly. Then I set up another track (8) that is set to an unused
MIDI channel (in my case 16). This track has a funky, lively, zappy
kinda bassline in it. I then set up an aux event in every step saying
Swap All with Track 1 (this being the location of my simple bassline).
Now whenever I activate track 8, the bassline is transformed for as
long as I have the track active. So by playing the key for track 8 I
can introduce variations as and when I want.
You could extend this further either by using knob events to
mask/unmask Set Note events or you could have yet another track doing
random mutes and unmutes of track 8 so your bassline would toggle
between two possibilities according to chance.
A useful one, I think.
