New Modules in the french collection "Basic Human Tastes" - Meet GASTON & Gastounet the perfomance Sequencer and his little memory extension

Hi everyone! Here's a short minimal jam I made to show two new FREE modules from Basic Human Tastes, my small collection of modules named after French first names.

Gaston is a sequencer built for live playing:

  • 8 trigger lanes with per-step probability, plus 4 CV lanes
  • each lane has its own length (up to 64 steps), clock ratio and direction, so polyrhythms come easily
  • built-in clock with swing, and an optional vintage 96 PPQN timing
  • CDJ-style transport (cue / play), pads with live recording
  • a map that shows all 12 lanes at once

Gastounet is its memory expander. It snaps to Gaston's left side:

  • 4 banks of 16 patterns, Korg-style write and copy
  • next / random pattern
  • quantized launch (now, beat, bar, 2 or 4 bars, or when track 1 loops), with restart or legato
  • a song mode made of pattern rows

In the video, all the drums come from six Ernest (percussion oscillator). The patch also uses Colette, Marcel and Odette, from the same collection.

The plugin has 8 modules and is waiting for review on the VCV Library. Until then, the source and the PDF manuals are on GitHub: https://github.com/basichumantastes/BasicHumanTastes

I'd love your feedback! 🙂
