Euclidian Pulse Triggering the Note at the relative note pattern position.

 

 

Intent:  FUN 

Have real time control over the accent pattern on a repeating 16 step riff, allowing you to make it into a dynamic performance rather than a static loop. 

The Riff keeps the relative position of the notes constant, while the Euclidean Rotator allows shifting the accent pattern to ‘pick out’  different notes in the 16 step pattern. 

Quick Start:

Make sure the Euclidean Rotator is set to  16 steps and a Fill of 16 

So it triggers every step 

Now, use the Shift Sequencer to set up a repeating pattern you like 

(to make things more obvious, start with 16 beats)  THEN: Hit Stop. 

 

Now try lowering the Fill to a value of 10 and hear how notes in the sequence are now being picked out so only 10 of the 16 steps are being heard, note, the Sequence is still playing the same notes at the same point in the bar. 

 

CC-11 controls FILL 

 

Now try altering the STEPS counter and the FILL amount and see how the Dynamic pattern now evolves over several bars, but the riffs notes are still positioned in the original point in the bar. (so you can have a set melodic pattern that rhythmically is shifting the accents)

Quick guide to the GUI below

2 / 2

CLK DIV 

1 Triggers the step rate of the Shift Seq 

2 Triggers CFG gate 2

3 Triggers CFG gate 3

6 Triggers the rate of the Euclidean Rotator

 

CFG 

1 controls a fast timbral sweep on the DWG 

2 controls a slower timbral sweep on the DWG 

3 Controls a change in the MIX of the DWG outputs 

4 controls the Level of the LPG so can be thought of as the AMP ENV. 

 

DWG Mod A input is a summed CFG 1+2 Mod B input is CFG 2  

 

Mod-Wheel controls the Decay of the LPG and its output level and brightness, as well as changing the delay balance.  (signal will be heard if the clocks are running and Mod-Wheel is up)

 

After Touch controls a slight detune of the MOD OSC in the DWG providing a tiny bit of extra grit 

 

To take things up a notch, use the RANGE controls in the Shift Sequencer to alter the octave and holds or notes to provide even more weirdness, or change the Shift Seq Clock rate, or…  

“Wow, nice idea but I hate the synth” I hear you say?

Then try the included midi only version with the monophonic synth of your choice
