Description
Blocks is a rhythm generator for Ableton Live that uses proportions to create uneven divisions of the MIDI Clip. You can think of it as an "additive rhythm" or a "proportional rhythm". It's inspired by the "container" concept from Cutelab's fantastic Nestup device. It's a tool to help you make interesting rhythms quickly and playfully.
Honestly, it's probably best just to play around to get a feel for what it does. Blocks is a great companion to the Divs MIDI Tool, which evenly subdivides notes. With these two, you can create complex nested rhythms that feel to me like Mohammad Reza Mortazavi.
