Boomerang
A figure that starts at the tip of the sample and moves the record on every fader move as a triplet within each division: a long forward slice, a short pull back, a short forward stab, then the mirror on the next division. The fader motion is the 2-click flare’s Open, Close, Tap started from a different point, heard as brief clicks at the start of each count, at each stab, and at the midpoint, so every stroke sounds; at each slice’s peak the fader stays open and the hand turns the record with a quick curve. The short strokes play at natural pitch; the long slices, covering twice the distance in the same time, play an octave up. Default division 1/4, Pattern Boomerang, Rate 8th, Gate Straight, Swing 0, Humanize 15%. Use it for a two-count triplet call and answer: the forward figure speaks on one count, the backwards figure answers on the next. In the 1/16 preview the backwards count reads into the quiet first 36 ms of the ahh sample, so that count is faint there; the fresh preview of the same variant shows the full figure. Lineage: A DJ Flare invention built on the 2-click flare’s crossfader motion.Preview presets
