REHEAT
A writing tool that happens to make sound
Basslines that write themselves. Pick a groove, hit new line, then take the MIDI and play it with whatever bass you already own. The synth is there so you can hear what you are getting — it is not the point.
What it does
It writes, you keep the MIDI
Every line can be dragged straight out onto a track. That is the whole idea — REHEAT decides the notes, your own bass makes the sound.
Ten genre grooves
Acid, hip hop, house, tech house, trance, techno, drum & bass, dub, disco and electro. Each one brings its own tempo, length and relationship with the kick.
Chords underneath, not just a scale
The generator moves through a real progression — root on the change, chord tones on the beats, passing notes between, and a chromatic lean into the turnaround.
A riff, not a random walk
One bar is composed as a cell and then played against each chord, so the line repeats and becomes a hook instead of wandering.
Locks to your kick
Feed the plugin your drum bus and it follows the beat, correcting its phase without ever restarting the pattern.
Any time signature
It is a writing tool, so it is not stuck in 4/4 — it follows the host's meter or takes one you choose.
Specification
Try it
The browser demo runs the same generator as the plugin and lets you download the MIDI. It plays for ten minutes at a time.
