Tool idea: Professor Dubler

Renoise Tools

Hi everyone!

I’d love to hear your thoughts on an idea for a simple tool designed to help musicians get past creative blocks while working on a track.

The idea isn’t to generate something from scratch, but to build on what’s already there — like one or two notes, a short phrase, or a pattern.

Think of it as a kind of creative support tool — it takes existing material and offers possible continuations based on simple, intuitive transformations: repeat, transpose, shift rhythm, insert a pause, and so on. Nothing overly complex — just enough to help get the flow going again.

What I’d love to hear from you is: what kinds of transformations or logic would you find useful in this kind of tool? What would help you personally when you’re stuck?

At the moment I am collecting information to formulate the technical task and how it could be implemented. I would be glad to hear any thoughts, even strange ones.

Have a great day!

Not exactly what you envision but my tool chunk chops is meant to allow you to easily create new variations by collaging existing patterns in your song.

yes it’s a great tool, thanks. I’ve been using suno for a while as a source of ideas for my tracks. I really liked the ability to throw in some of my sketches and see what can be done with it. It really enlivens the process. Since in general it can be automated in the form of creating variations, it seems to me that your script would be quite good to add a multiplier that would create a multiple number of patterns with these variations. it’s a bit of a generative approach, but I think it can be very useful. what do you think about it?
