# Offgrid Lantern - Minimal Tech

**Tempo:** 120 BPM

**Key:** B dorian

**Length:** 160 whole bars / 320.00 seconds

**Character:** Playful, lopsided, conversational

**Listening reference supplied by the user:** Atish / Nico Purman

A five-beat melodic question answers a swung six-beat bass loop. These are original notes and arrangements, not a recreation,
artist-endorsed product, extracted song, or copy of a preset.

## What makes this kit different

- Bass loop: 24 sixteenths; [step, scale-degree] pairs: `[[1, 0], [7, 2], [10, 4], [16, 0], [21, 5]]`.
- Motif loop: 20 sixteenths; [step, scale-degree] pairs: `[[0, 0], [4, 4], [9, 2], [13, 6], [18, 3]]`.
- Arp loop: 20 sixteenths; displaced motif steps with chord-voicing pitches: `[[1, 0], [3, 7], [5, 6], [7, 13], [10, 3], [12, 3], [14, 8], [16, 9], [19, 6]]`. This is a separate MIDI track, not a renamed motif.
- Atmosphere: Air Cue repeats two pitched/noise cue gates per 40-sixteenth cycle in the intro, Air Gap, rebuild, peak and exit.
- Percussion: 8 pulses on a 24-division bar, rotation 5; paired drum voices and evolving velocity.
- Harmony: root-degree progression `[0, 6, 3, 2]`, voicing offsets `[0, 3, 4, 7]`, 3 bars per chord.
- Section-length vector: `[16, 16, 16, 40, 8, 8, 40, 16]`. This is not a transposition of another kit.

## Import into Live 12

1. Create a blank Set in Arrangement View and set 120 BPM, 4/4.
2. Drag Full_Arrangement.mid into empty Arrangement space. This is SMF Type 1;
   if track separation differs in your setup, import the individual MIDI_Stems files at bar 1.
3. Assign instruments and drum sounds using RACKS_AND_ROUTING.md. MIDI alone produces no sound.
   In the eight-stem preview, Motif maps to Pluck, Counterline maps to Lead, and Air Cue maps to Atmosphere. Arp has its own MIDI track.
4. Use the table below to add Live locators manually if MIDI marker names are not imported.
5. The Air Gap contains no audible kick or bass; SC GHOST remains active for sidechain.
6. Core_Groove.mid is an eight-bar Theme B study. Polymetric cycles deliberately
   retrigger at the loop boundary; it is not promised to be a phase-complete loop.
7. Add the suggested automation in Live, then Collect All and Save if using samples,
   and use File -> Save Live Set as Template.

## Arrangement

| Section | Bars (1-based, inclusive) | Start |
| --- | --- | --- |
| DJ Introduction | 1-16 | 0.0s |
| Percussion Pocket | 17-32 | 32.0s |
| Bass Conversation | 33-48 | 64.0s |
| Theme A | 49-88 | 96.0s |
| Air Gap | 89-96 | 176.0s |
| Rebuild | 97-104 | 192.0s |
| Theme B / Peak | 105-144 | 208.0s |
| DJ Exit | 145-160 | 288.0s |

Theme B introduces an original contrary-motion counterline halfway through.
The DJ Exit drops bass halfway through and leaves percussion for a mix-out.
All note-offs are clipped to the advertised full-bar ending.
