Humanized timings: How to make Drumgizmo 'untight'

NOTE: This page is not documentation of the feature - it is merely random thoughts as part of a design phase.

• Add slider to set “maximum latency”
• Add slider to set timing mean and stddev.

Setting max latency should affect both directions even though it is only actually limited in the “too early” sense.

Setting mean to “+5ms” and stddev to “0ms” will play all strokes 5ms late, and probably sound “laid back”.

Setting mean to “+0ms” and stddev to “20ms” will play all strokes “in time” but seem “sloppy”.

Setting mean to “-5ms” will make it sound “up beat”

NOTE: I have no idea if 5ms is even possible to hear - it may be needed to set it much higher to get an effect…

• LV2 can set latency dynamically: http://lv2plug.in/ns/lv2core/#reportsLatency
• VST can set latency dynamically by calling void AudioEffect::setInitialDelay(VstInt32 delay) : http://www.juce.com/forum/topic/reporting-changed-latency-vst-plug-ins
