Ghost Notes

ShaneTV

Where to get itAvailable from ShaneTVreasonstudios.com

Ghost Notes is a MIDI-driven generative plugin that automatically creates rhythmic, evolving "ghost notes"—short, low-velocity filler notes—to complement drum beats, basslines, and synth arpeggios. It combines probability, swing, and five distinct algorithmic modes to inject humanized groove and variation into performances. The device listens to incoming MIDI and breathes dynamic, evolving character into even simple patterns.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Five generative modes: Cloud, Octave, Stutter, Response, and Target Note
02Probability control (0–100%) for note generation likelihood
03Pocket control for swing, lag, and grid humanization
04Low/High Cut filters to restrict pitch range of ghost notes
05Sustain control for extended ring-out energy decay
06Learn button for easy Target Note assignment in drum mode

Things to Try

  • 01Use Cloud mode to turn simple chords into sparkly, generative arpeggios by weighting intervals toward octaves and fifths (+7, +12, +24, +36 semitones)
  • 02In Target Note mode, press LRN to enter Learn Mode, play a key on your MIDI controller to assign a drum pitch (e.g., D1 for snare), then click LRN again to save the note permanently to your patch
  • 03Set Sustain high to allow ghost notes to continue generating and decaying long after releasing your MIDI keys for extended rhythmic texture
