    I'm in love with Note Repeats. It's really good for people that are making riddim like myself.

    Great video! I use all of these in my generative jam patches. I can 100% state they are just fantastic fun.
    One cool thing to do is hook up a arp-keyfilter combos to different instruments, then assign midi controller knobs to each arp segment's gate and note pitch. So while running a set I can "dial in" rythms and melodies. You can also put a harmoniser before the keyfilter and have that fed from an external keyboard or sequencer (eg, an NDLR drone).
    Plus Euclidean drum machines are the bomb! Again, assigning a midi controller (e.g. cheap Akai midMix) to the various note repeat settings lets you 'dial in' drum patterns (rises, lows) in jam sessions. Basically, you get a superbly flexible drum machine/bassline generator for live performance.
    One more idea for you. I sometimes use Reason's players - beatmap, bassline generator, etc - to drive the Bitwig drum machine and Bass synths. Again, I assign midi controller knobs to the play settings so I can dial in performances. Reason's players produce very interesting sequences that go beyond what you get from arps or Euclidian note repeats. In my main "jam" bitwig template, I have a bitwig drum machine hooked to Reason beatmap (preset to be controlled by an akai midiMix) and, a bass hooked up to a bitwig arp (controlled by 8 knobs on my faderfox pc 12).and finally another bass hooked up to Reason's bassline generator (controlled by another 8 knobs on the fader fox).
    It is a very effective template to get you up an running fast.

      no that I know of, you would need third party plugins for that
