Notes node

Note Capturer

Records whatever note stream feeds it — with tempo-relative timing so it stays in sync even if the BPM changes — then loops that recording back on top of the live input, which always keeps passing through.

What it does

Note Capturer is a note node: it makes, filters or changes notes before a synth plays them. It takes notes in and gives notes out.

Try it

Record a short improvised phrase, then keep playing live on top while it loops underneath.
