Functionality

BassGen creates monophonic bass parts that follow host transport and saved pattern state. It can regenerate or mutate rhythmic material, choose from scale/style controls, add harmonic color, and use incoming MIDI context to follow or avoid drum and bass hits. Input matching can use an exact note, a whole channel, or any note, with sensitivity for guided companion parts from sources such as Ground. Its Jazz mode outlines ii-V-I-turnaround movement with chord-tone targeting, dominant color, chromatic approaches, and simple enclosures. Its Fugue mode uses a tonic subject, dominant answer, episode, and tonic pedal/cadence shape for Bach-like continuo movement. Moroder mode makes short, bright, repetitive subdivision-pulse bass lines with slider-shaped holes and color turns.

Status

This works quite nicely for short, repetitive phrases. Its tracking of input midi still needs more work.
