Baby Scratch

A smooth forward/back rub with the fader open; the record hand creates the two phantom pauses at the reversals. Each Baby stroke covers half of the selected grid cell. At Rate 8th, one forward/back cycle fills one division, with an average playback speed of 1× per stroke and a sine-shaped pitch rise and fall. Rate 16th keeps the same travel and doubles the cycle rate. Humanize adds bounded variation around this motion. Tear covers half a grid cell with a forward push and a return split by a brief record-hand pause. It keeps the same cycle timing as Baby, with the fader open throughout. Rhythm plays five rubs across two grid divisions: normal, normal, short, normal, short. Normal strokes cover a quarter of a grid cell; the two short accents cover 40% of that distance in half the time. The fader stays open throughout. Default division 1/4, Pattern Baby, Rate 8th, Gate Straight, Swing 0, Humanize 25%. Use it for the foundational vocal or drum rub that leaves the source recognizable while adding hand motion.
