Description
Euclidean sequencers divide a number of beat subdivisions over a time interval and place MIDI notes as evenly as possible into the sequence. This is a 4 voice euclidean sequencer, for ableton and max for live. Creates complex polymeters and melodic arpeggios. Amongst other things it allows to have a fixed note per voice, or create your own melodic sequence for each one.
Requires max for live & ableton 10.1.2 or later
