IDEA_GEN_V3
New and improved IDEA_GEN_V3!!! So glad to finally bring the new version to you, took way longer to improve this than it should have. Don't miss the sample pack in another upload that's made using this new project ;)
What's new:
V3 uses a different sequencer - MDD_SNAKE. This one is more reliable than previously used Sting, has separate generation buttons for notes and gates (which you can also edit manually at any time).
Effects channel. At the top of the project you will find a MIDI track in which you can draw in notes. These notes trigger a selection of return effects (like beat repeat, glitchy textures, bleeps). You can customize and add your own plugins to the return tracks for more fun effects!
SHARKYv3 integration. This is our M4L device which has been updated to feature a curated list of patterns for the sDRUMS channels. There are 60 custom patterns that turn 16th notes into a chopped up, swingy hits. This device is also included separately in the download (really great for choppy glitches).
Easier navigating and setup. IDEA_GEN_V3 now only works on Sampler Zone "Sel" mode. Should be less confusing for those who want to change samples withing each channel. Also the channels have been separated, allows for more precise randomization.
Included recording group. Ideal use of IDEA_GEN is to record the generated loops and later reuse them. A separate group already mapped to each channel is created (with bass MIDI recording too).
More samples. Each channel has more of our samples added thus adding more variety to generated loops.
There are still some quirks which are explained in the project itself. You can also find tutorials throughout the channels. This version also doesn't have Synth gen, for now the sequenced synth results sound pretty bad. We tested this on latest Ableton Live 12, it displays an error though everything works just fine.
If something doesn't work please send a message on Patreon DM or Instagram @project_bass_
Next month we will start working on a big Latin Tech House sample pack, already got some new plugins and gear to make this one really nice. Stay tuned!

Hi, is there a tutorial on how to use it?
Hi, there is a tutorial how to use it inside Lessons Ableton integration (when you open up the project) Whole concept is pretty simple: randomize samples/fx/pattern until you hear something you like, then freeze it our bounce it. Let me know if you have any questions!
I'm new to Ableton, how do I install this?
Hey, extract the folder in your desired location and open the Ableton project included. Let me know if everything works and if you need any help on a Patreon or Instagram DM!
Can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate the time and effort you put into this channel! Thank you🙌🏼
Duuuude this is absolutely insane!! Thanks PB once again
How do we save the Idea Gen racks to live so we can open them up in other projects? I tried grouping the Bass Gen all together and opened it in another project, clicked "Push" on notes and gates but then all the notes that were played were just the same note even after I keep clicking "Random" on the top left of the Snake, it doesn't randomize the pattern
thx bro
Nice…but a YouTube Tutorial will help maybee…
Could do a short video on it, though it's pretty simple. Will use it on some future projects for sure showcasing it more
