Euclidean

A very simple build of the Euclidean Algorithm.
It allows to distribute a number of beats the more evenly possible along a bar...

just in a very early stage (be carefull with the clicks), and maybe pro-devs find better ways to do this... yearning to hear some feedback!


some references about the algorithm:

which was also discussed in this thread:

added some refinements and midi out...

it's nice when setting different lenghts for each sequence...

 

Cool, thank you very much! Some bugs presented (first beat visualization offset in the pattern - the next to last lamp blinks instead of the 1-st one), but in general it works. Being a builder I know how hard it is to give it 'commercial' look. But it do the job and that is great by itself. Of course it would be great if it will look like this flash app here: http://www.hisschemoller.com/2011/euclidean-rhythms/ but seem to be too much work with polydisplays. Such toy could be easily included in the next 6.8 factory library )))

 

Yeah!
it would be great to have such a nice interface as the one in the flash app!

but i wouldn't know where to start from....

glad that someone finds this usefull!
perhaps the next step would be to integrate this with a drummachine...

 

One of the reasons I never post my own ensembles is because of very raw interface and design that only do the exact job for me. Great that you show that modulo based concept, the rest is just details.

There is some bug with the very first hit is lost when you press the 'play' button. Could be solved with event order and event value triggers I suppose.

...do you plan this ensemble to be integrated with sample players like Limelite or to have midi ports like Spiral or both in one?

 

if you guys are really interested i'll help you build a polydisplay that looks similar to that...

 

Hey Salamander.... that would be GREAT!
do you think it is something possible to accomplish with not-too-much effort?

about the integration with limelite or other sample players...is not in my plans...
i use to work with my own experimental synthdrum modules
http://www.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=userlibrary&L=1&type=0&ulbr=1&plview=detail&patchid=11389
(spaguetti programming as well..)
so what i would do next is maybe to integrate with some simple drum synths...
but you know, the macro is there for you to do whatever you want with it!

you're right with the bugs... i'm going to try to fix that!

 

i think it'll take a bit of effort but not too much, i'll look into it over my free time this weekend drawing a circle is easy enough, so drawing several points in a circular pattern shouldn't be too tough. turning nodes on or off might be a bit harder but i think it's all very doable.

 

WOW!



thanks salamander to share that with us!
it will be great to have such a little pretty device!

 

"if you guys are really interested i'll help you build a polydisplay that looks similar to that..."

- sure we are! ))))

"about the integration with limelite or other sample players...is not in my plans...

- sorry for my english, I ment that you want it to be 'like' Limelite or more 'like' Spiral, your answer shows that it will be somewhere in Limelite direction )))


I really love this Euclidean idea, because I'm collecting all that generative stuff.

 

yeah, this'll be really simple, just some simple sine/cosine action. i have the display aspect almost finished, i just need to implement an algorithm to decide which nodes are on and off.

 

wonderful hi,many thanks for crazy ens sequences
gennaro

 

all 3 of these give a 404 not found error?

 

Yes, seems you are right. Here is something for reading about it:

okay, this is nothing but a GUI display of what's going on behind the scenes, but it shouldn't be hard to add the rest of the functionality. the modulo method seems to make slightly different patterns than the algorithm ruin-wesen used.

press play to start the clock.

 

Sick! That is super fly. Whoever figures out how to add midi to it, please post it!

 

Thank you, thats already great but is it hard to add the connecting lines between the fills like in flash example? That will be just a little bit nicer looking.

 

no that would be very easy. filling in the polygon it makes would be a pain though...

 

Ok, I see...

 

Thanks Salamander!

i'm going to try to integrate this interface with the algorithm,
hope can post it tonight or tomorrow...

i suppose that the "shift" parameter can be easily adapted into the display, right?
