Auto Drummer

This is an "Automatic Drummer" plugin created with Darkglass Anagram in mind.

It plays drums in a variety of styles, controlled by a single "action" footswitch/toogle.

Usage

Triggering the "action" toggle will start playback, and then the possible actions are possible:

• Single tap: Play "fill-in" sequence temporarily
• Double tap: Stop playback
• Hold / Long press: Play "next" sequence

The double-tap has a 500ms window, and hold / long-press needs 1s to trigger. The "action" toggle is automaticly released if hold / pressed for 2s, so it can be triggered again if necessary.

This plugin has its own tempo control, or it can follow the tempo from the host (BPM only, not phase-sync).
