 - kickDetail.thd — >0.2 indicates audible saturation; cite for Saturator Drive. BUT when kickDetail.isDistorted is true the source already clips — do NOT add Saturator on the kick; cite kickDetail.isDistorted for the omission.
 - kickDetail.harmonicRatio — high (>0.9) = clean/sub-heavy (avoid Drum Buss Crunch, which would add unwanted grit); low (<0.5) = noisy/snappy (Drum Buss Crunch helps unify the transient).
 
+BASS CHARACTER (bassDetail)
+- bassDetail.averageDecayMs → Glue Compressor Release. The measured mean bass decay sets the release band: <100 ms (punchy) → fast Release ≈50-120 ms; 100-300 ms (medium) → ≈150-250 ms; 300-600 ms (rolling) → ≈300-450 ms; 600+ ms (sustained) → 0.6-1.2 s or Auto. Cite bassDetail.averageDecayMs with bassDetail.type. SENTINEL GUARD: when bassDetail.transientCount < 2 the decay is unmeasured (no isolable bass onsets) — do NOT emit a bass release value; state that the bass decay could not be reliably measured.
+- bassDetail.type directs the dynamics device: "punchy"/"medium" → a Compressor with a fast attack to tighten transients (kick-bus style); "rolling"/"sustained" → a Glue Compressor with a longer Release for level glue rather than transient control. Cite bassDetail.type with bassDetail.transientRatio.
+- bassDetail.fundamentalHz → bass tuning/EQ: cross-reference with key to name the bass root before any narrow move. Honor the schema caveat — do NOT drive a filter Q within ±15 Hz of fundamentalHz without pitchDetail corroboration (the ZCR estimate biases upward on harmonic-rich basses). Cite bassDetail.fundamentalHz with key.
+- bassDetail.swingPercent / bassDetail.grooveType → Groove Pool swing when rebuilding the bass as MIDI: "straight" → none; "slight-swing" → ≈8-16%; "heavy-swing"/"shuffle" → ≈25-50%, toward the measured swingPercent. This is the only swing value scoped to the bass specifically — prefer it over grooveDetail.perDrumSwing for bass humanization. Rule-only; do not template a separate card for a Groove Pool entry.
+
 PER-DRUM SWING (Phase 1.C #3)
 - grooveDetail.perDrumSwing.{kick | snare | hihat} — swing values computed from the three beat-loudness bands (20-200 Hz / 200-4000 Hz / 4000-20000 Hz). Cite these together when recommending Groove pool entries, MIDI quantize amounts, or "humanize" automation — they let you say "humanize the snare 12% but keep the kick rigid" with the measurement attached.
 - The legacy fields `grooveDetail.kickSwing` and `grooveDetail.hihatSwing` still exist and equal `perDrumSwing.kick` / `perDrumSwing.hihat` for backward compatibility — prefer the perDrumSwing object when citing two or three drum groups so the citations don't fragment.
@@ -197,6 +203,11 @@ REVERB DETAIL (Phase 1.D #5)
 - reverbDetail.preDelayMs — pre-delay estimate in milliseconds. Cite directly for the Reverb device Predelay parameter (`reverbDetail.preDelayMs: 42` → "Set Reverb Predelay to 42 ms"). When close to zero, the source is dry — don't recommend a reverb with audible predelay.
 - When `stemAnalysis.{stem}.reverbDetail` is present (Phase 1.D #5 per-stem), cite it for per-element reverb advice — e.g. "drums-bus Predelay 12 ms; other-bus Predelay 38 ms with longer highs (HighMids RT60 1.8 s) → Hall-style reverb with High Cut lowered for more damping." This is the cleanest way to recommend different reverb treatments per element.
 
+ACID / FILTER MOVEMENT (acidDetail) and DELAY
+- acidDetail.isAcid → Auto Filter on the bass-like element. When isAcid is true, recreate the 303 squelch with Auto Filter: a Lowpass Filter Type, high Resonance scaled by acidDetail.resonanceLevel (higher level → higher Resonance), raised LFO Amount, and Drive for grit; the LFO speed should track acidDetail.centroidOscillationHz. Cite acidDetail.resonanceLevel with acidDetail.centroidOscillationHz; hedge ("acid-style movement may be present") when acidDetail.confidence < 0.5, and omit the move entirely when isAcid is false.
+- Delay / Echo BPM-sync: when the material is sparse enough to support audible repeats (a lead, stab, or chop — not a dense wall), add Echo or Delay with Sync on and the repeat division derived from bpm via the GROOVE CALCULATION RULE (a dotted-eighth repeat suits dub/house; a quarter-note repeat suits sparse leads). Keep Feedback modest (≈20-40%) so the tail decays within a couple of bars. Cite bpm; when rhythmDetail.tempoCurve is non-flat prefer Echo (it re-syncs to tempo drift) and say so.
+- effectsDetail.gatingDetected → Beat Repeat / Gate: when gatingDetected is true, recreate the chop with Beat Repeat — match the repeat grid to effectsDetail.gatingRate (a "16th" rate → a 1/16 grid) and raise the repeat chance when effectsDetail.gatingRegularity is high (machine-like) versus a lower chance for irregular/glitch feel. For a plain on/off chop use Gate instead. Cite effectsDetail.gatingRate with effectsDetail.gatingRegularity; omit when gatingDetected is false.
+
 CHORD TIMELINE (Phase 1.D #2)
 - chordDetail.chordTimeline is an array of `{startSec, endSec, label, labelLong, confidence}` segments produced by a 25-state (12 major + 12 minor + "N" no-chord) Viterbi decoder over `librosa.feature.chroma_cqt`. `label` is short form (`"Cm"`, `"Eb"`, `"N"`) and `labelLong` is the readable form (`"C minor"`, `"Eb major"`, `"N"`) — cite either. Use for arrangement-aware harmonic claims: "the build sits on Cm from 0:48 to 1:00 (confidence 0.7), then drops to Eb for 8 bars (confidence 0.6)" — gives Phase 2 a real progression to recreate via MIDI Chord Trigger or a Drum Rack chord-stab.
 - chordDetail.chordChangeCount is the count of unique chord-to-chord transitions in the timeline. Low values (≤3) indicate a static harmonic bed — recommend Reverb/Wide synth-pad treatments. High values (≥10) indicate active progression — recommend rhythmic chord-stab patches or a more dynamic sidechain feel.
