Jitter applies a random variation to output notes. The global controls tune the jitter amount for each target. Jitter is available for clock rate, notes, and chords. A small amount of jitter provides a more realistic feel to a sequence, especially if it plays chords. Larger amounts totally randomize the output.

Jitter Panel

Jitter values are stored with the snapshot. The controls are as follows:

GLOBAL JITTER

Also available in the A panel's clock section, this control sets the base amount of randomization. The global jitter setting scales the amount of single random source applied to all jitter destinations:

Knob settings in the range 0~25% set jitter in the range 0~0.15.
Knob settings in the range 25~50% set jitter in the range 0.15~0.5.
Knob settings in the range 50~75% set jitter in the range 0.5~4.
Knob settings in the range 75~100% set jitter in the range 4~14.

JITTER DELAY

This is the only panel switch in the Husserl instrument. Enabling it turns on a high-resolution delay line for delaying the start of notes. Turn this off on lower-performance machines to save CPU.

CLOCK JITTER

The button enables the application of jitter randomization to the global clock. At higher jitter settings the clock randomly skips cycles. The slider linearly scales the amount of global jitter applied to this destination.

NOTE JITTER

These controls set the amount of randomization applied to primary notes (not chord notes). Separate amounts of jitter may be applied to the note start, duration, and velocity.

START Jitter

The button enables delay jitter applied to primary note start, and the slider linearly scales the amount of global jitter applied to this destination. The jitter delay line must be enabled for this control to have effect.

DURATION Jitter

The button enables random variation of note length. The slider linearly scales the amount of global jitter applied to this destination.

VELOCITY Jitter

The button enables random variation of note volume. The slider linearly scales the amount of global jitter applied to this destination.

CHANNEL for Jitter

This control also the addition of random variation based on the sequencer channel number. The addition is applied across all other jitter notes.

CHORD JITTER

These controls are the same as for note jitter, but apply to additional notes from the chord generator. The Jitter calculations also include a slightly different variation for each note in the chord, scaled by the jitter amount controls.
