I added an an Euclidean Rhythm Generator into the MBSEQ V4 firmware today!
It's inspired from http://ruinwesen.com/blog?id=216 and http://crx091081gb.net/?p=189

In distance to these solutions, the generator writes static sequences into the track storage so that they can also be modified if desired:

Parameters can be changed for each drum instrument individually.

Here a recording where I'm changing the parameters while a single drum track is playing:



The generator can also be used for the trigger layers of a "normal" track:


E.g. in this example I entered different chords into each step, and the gates are modified by the rhythm generator:


Next steps: add possibility to generate accent in drum tracks as well + searching for some more interesting parameters.

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Awesome! Thanks!

Yes! A great help for bad rhythm programmers (like me) :-).
The second demo is fantastic!

Thanks and many greets,
Peter

That's fun!
I want to get started on my new seq even more, now.

Wow!
I was very lucky with my good old outdated MB SEQ V2.1 - till now.
Euclidean Rhythm - I feel a kick in for the ludic drive...

Kick ass! I have to check this out ASAP
Thank you TK!

I had this in mind while programming the code ;-)
It's a nice source for inspirations - and especially allows to modify the results later so that the pattern doesn't sound like "generated" anymore.

ha, I got you! ;-)

thx Thorsten

Awesome! And a very good idea to keep it "just" a generator.
I presume the *..*..* on the right shows how the pulses are distributed over the 16th notes?

It displays the current pattern (regardless if it has been generated or not), and will be updated whenever an encoder changes the Step/Pulse or Offset value.
Initially this was only intended as a debugging help for me, but then I noticed how essential it is to see the current pattern without the need for going back to the edit screen, especially when the offset value is changed to get pulses matching with the pulses of other drum instruments.

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Very cool!! I should really hurry up and finish my SEQ

[Hawkeye]

Finally tested and loving it
A really cool way to "chop" your non-drum synth noodles, as well!

Bye,

It's released now in v4.059 -> http://midibox.org/f...post__p__149643

Last WE I added a random accent generator which leads to even more interesting results!

Best Regards, Thorsten.

I added a random accent generator...

Wow. I will have a try.

ha, I got you! ;-)

Yes, the SEQV4 project is on the top of my todo-list now.

This is very cool feature. I LOVE it! It's about time to build a sequencer.
