Chirp

An eased forward stroke and pull back sweeping the whole grid cell at double speed, whose direction change is clicked shut by the fader, leaving two bright tones that rise and fall with the hand. The crossfader is held shut through the turn for 45% of the stroke cycle, so the pause scales with the hand: a short rest at fast divisions, a longer one at slow ones. Default division 1/8, Pattern Chirp, Rate 8th, Gate Straight, Swing 0, Humanize 10%. Use it for sharp fills, turnarounds, and short rhythmic punctuation. Lineage: The Forward and Military kin patterns connect this family to G.W. Theodore, Grandmaster Flash, and classic drill vocabulary.
