Description

I needed something simple for the Ableton Push 3 Stand Alone.

Probabilistic MIDI note filter with cycle-based triggering

This device filters incoming MIDI notes based on a customizable trigger pattern. Set a cycle length and specify when in that cycle notes should pass through.

Examples:

1:4 = Play every 1st note out of 4

2:3 = Play every 2nd note out of 3

3:8 = Play every 3rd note out of 8

Features:

Only note-on events (velocity > 0) trigger the counting logic

Note-off messages always pass through unchanged

Inverse toggle flips the logic (play all notes EXCEPT the specified position)

Perfect for creating rhythmic variations, euclidean-style patterns, and generative MIDI effects

Use Cases:

Thin out busy MIDI sequences

Create polyrhythmic patterns from single note streams

Add controlled randomness to repetitive parts

Generate euclidean rhythms from any MIDI input

Place before any MIDI instrument in your Live chain for instant rhythmic transformation.
