Description
Harmonic Rhythms expands and combines the sequencing ideas that the subharmonicon and dfam have, and is controllable via Push 3 Standalone.
The main additions to the Subharmonicon and DFAM are:
- Rhythm offset moves a rhythm one denominator left or right, helping slightly desync things without changing the entire rhythm of something.
- The subharmonic secondary notes can also be set to be harmonics.
- You can set the length of each sequence between 1 and 8 steps.
- Controlled randomization of most parameters.
Have fun making harmonic (poly)rhythms :)
Notes:
-You have to turn on a rhythm in order for this to send any MIDI note data.
-Try adding the Max Pitchscaler after it (or any quantizer) if you want to quantize the pitches!
-You can fully turn off a step by setting velocity to 0 for the step.
-Resync is sometimes necessary if the rhythms get skewed (EG: offsetting the rhythm and then attempting to lay them back in line). When you turn it on, every rhythm resyncs to the first rhythm's clock whenever that first rhythm fires. You need to toggle it again to turn it off and let the rhythms go to their own speeds.
Examples to understand what this is doing mathematically:
If your tempo is set to 1/4, and you set an offset -1 and rhythm of 2, the rhythm of that lane is:
(1 /(4-1))/ 2
is (1/3)/2 is 1/6.
When a step fires it will show in the lights above the note [when you're using it in the DAW], making it easy to see when a note's triggered.
Push3 Standalone supported - all controls should be mapped.
