TK. Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 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: http://www.ucapps.de/mp3/midibox_seq/mbseqv4_euclid1.mp3 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: http://www.ucapps.de/mp3/midibox_seq/mbseqv4_euclid2.mp3 Next steps: add possibility to generate accent in drum tracks as well + searching for some more interesting parameters. :) Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hawkeye Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 Yes! A great help for bad rhythm programmers (like me) :-). The second demo is fantastic! Thanks and many greets, Peter Quote
wicked1 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 That's fun! I want to get started on my new seq even more, now. Quote
lemonhorse Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) 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 I was very lucky with my good old outdated MB SEQ V2.1 - till now.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... - Lemonhorse Edited July 2, 2012 by lemonhorse Quote
jojjelito Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Kick ass! I have to check this out ASAP Thank you TK! Quote
TK. Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Posted July 2, 2012 Thanks! :) Yes! A great help for bad rhythm programmers (like me) :-). 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. :) I was very lucky with my good old outdated MB SEQ V2.1 - till now. ha, I got you! ;-) Best Regards, Thorsten.

stuartm Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 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? Quote
TK. Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Posted July 4, 2012 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. Quote
flip Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 Very cool!! I should really hurry up and finish my SEQ :) Quote
Hawkeye Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Finally tested and loving it :) A really cool way to "chop" your non-drum synth noodles, as well! Bye, Peter Quote
TK. Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Posted July 16, 2012 It's released now in v4.059 -> Last WE I added a random accent generator which leads to even more interesting results! :) Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote
lemonhorse Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 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. :) Quote
Sasha Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 This is very cool feature. I LOVE it! It's about time to build a sequencer. Quote
