how many beat variations

Post by tape smoke »

yo its dope cuts , glue bag , master lo , spark5 , mad huff , poebot 5 the alien, water , who fresh the decrepid alley dangling germ giver.

just wondering if anyone knows how many variations possible is there of kick and snare in a 4 bar loop. cause i made a hell of a lot of beats and dont think i even scratched the surface. yess all quantum beep buzzed into the matrix with a google chip implanted in my skull to telepahicly teleport beats to the sp-forums global ninja headquaters.

but for real is there some sort of equation with pi or somehting to find out ?

3.14159 * x / y

- x being the number of aliases you have
- y being your current shoe size

I've thought about this question too, but seriously, I don't know an answer. You just gotta think out of the typical 'kick kick snare'.

i usually just quanitize basic kick kick snare , but i dont think there is 2 alike,

if you take mutes and triplets into account.

everytime i sit down, i can come up with a new variation.

20922789888000 different combinations on ONE track with 16 steps.
thats the operation 16! or 16 x 15 x 14 x 13 etc.

but really its probably 128 x 127 x 126 x 125
probably not the right equation but then again i never took statistics

but for patterns that sound good, its probably much much lower.

unless your autechre

if you could, then you could also replace humans with robots and have a machine write the song for you.

It's hard to pay the green and the bottle when you're already getting all that vinyl.
