mcp_opendaw_create_stutter
Generates a stutter edit pattern—rapid, evolving note repetitions—for build-ups, glitch fills, and vocal chops. Control rate, acceleration, accents, velocity ramp, pitch jitter, and gate.
Instructions
Create a stutter edit — rapid rhythmic repetitions with evolving rate and dynamics.
The classic stutter edit (BT, Imogen Heap, Deadmau5, Skrillex): take a note and repeat it with changing rhythmic density. Unlike create_chop (equal segments) or create_trill (alternating two notes), stutter edit evolves over time — accelerating, decelerating, or shifting accents. Essential for:
Build-up transitions before drops
Glitch fills at end of phrases
Vocal-chop style rhythmic patterns
Energy ramps in EDM/hip-hop
pitches: Comma-separated MIDI pitches (1-8, default "60"). Cycles through if repeat_count > len. rate: Base rhythmic subdivision — "16th" (0.25 beats), "32nd" (0.125), "64th" (0.0625), "triplet" (0.167), "triplet32" (0.083). pattern: How rate evolves — "constant" (same spacing throughout), "accelerate" (notes get closer — classic stutter build), "decelerate" (notes spread out — reverse stutter), "ping_pong" (alternate fast/slow), "random" (jittered spacing, seeded). repeat_count: Total repetitions (4-64, default 16). accent_pattern: Velocity accent structure — "none" (all equal), "downbeat" (every 4th accented), "1_and" (1st + 3rd accented), "1_e_and_a" (1st strongest, 3rd medium), "every_other" (alternating accent). velocity_ramp: Dynamic envelope — "constant", "fade_in", "fade_out", "fade_in_out", "build" (exponential increase). gate: Portion of each step with sound (0.3-1.0, default 0.85). Lower = more gaps = choppy. pitch_jitter: Random pitch variation in semitones (0-12, default 0). 0 = exact repeat. unit_index: AU index with note track (-1 = auto-find). track_index: Note track index. start_beat: Position in beats. velocity: Base velocity (0-1). seed: Random seed.
Returns notes created, pattern, rate, total length.
