Euclidean rhythms

The Euclidean panel generates rhythms by spreading pulses as evenly as possible across steps, with optional rotation. (3, 8) is the classic tresillo — try it on a kick or clap.

Knobs

  • Steps — total grid length to fill (1–64).
  • Pulses — how many of those steps fire (≤ steps).
  • Rotation — shift the pattern start so the pulses land on different beats.
TipCombine Euclidean generation with Drift on the euclideanRotation parameter to get a slowly rotating polyrhythm that never repeats exactly.
