Description
Everything seems pretty self explanatory. Turn it on and it spits out notes, machine gun style, according to the settings.
I originally made it to go in front of my note-driven Chord Stepper so that I could just automate the On/Off button, instead of having to muck about with clips.
Its also pretty useful in front of a drum rack/slicer. Set the Range equal to the number of slices.
The note stream can be controlled with three parameters:
On is the number of On steps.
Skip is the number of steps to skip in between each On.
After the Ons and Skips the pattern is finished by Off steps.
The total pattern length is
On*(Skip+1) + Off.
For example, with On set to 3 and Skips set to 2, you get a note and two skips, a 2nd note with two skips, a 3rd note and two skips, for a total of 9 steps = 3*(2+1), followed by however many Off steps you set.
Its basically the Euclidean Algorithm in Reverse.
Share and Enjoy!
Update: I added a pattern Shift/Offset parameter. For example, in 16nth notes, 1 On, 7 Skips, 0 Offs and 4 Shifts gives a standard Snare pattern.

I think you could go a little further with it, honestly.
:)
I'm not sure what its called but I went ahead and made up some kind of algorithmic pattern masking thing.
Hopefully, I didn't break it.
