    You hear on a lot of techno tracks that the perc will be modified throughout the song. The pitch is normally played with, up and down. So as the song progresses towards a breakdown the pitch of the perc may go up.

    Im just wondering is there a plug-in that is the best for this effect?? Something that can modulate the pitch by a used defined lenght .. Over a bar or so.

    Anyone got any advice

    Surely you could just draw a straight line pitch automation on what ever perc you want to?

    Or failing that stick an LFO on the pitch and chose the time signature and amount you want it to do.

    Can you post an example of what your talking about?
