JS Droplets: Play random notes out of chords

creator of Reapertips

Here’s a super fun JS plugin by Geraint Luff called JS: Droplets ☔️

This effect replays the notes of a chord randomly. It also has a wide range of parameters that can be adjusted to create many variations!

🎥 Here’s a demo of how it works

ㅤ

You can control the retriggering rate, and how much this is affected by velocity or the number of current notes ("Independence").

You can also allow it to transpose the input up/down octaves, to move it to a target note range. This (like everything else) is automatable, so your music can float up and down in pitch.

For more info and more awesome plugins, you can check out the forum thread.

How to install

You can install this via Reapack by importing the following repository:

https://github.com/me2beats/reapack/raw/master/index.xml
✌️
Alternatively, you can download all Geraint plugins in a zip folder.

To import them, go to REAPER > Options > Show REAPER resource path… and place the plugins inside the Effects folder. Restart REAPER afterwards.
