Sequencer functions on a binary note-onset principle.
Optional 1’s complement, inverse state trigger.
Midi output channelsMidi output channels
• Sends a midi note number out channels 1-8• Note number selection for each channel• Automated midi velocity envelope values• Determine note length• Optional random note selection
Pitched Midi Note Sequences Pitched Midi Note Sequences
Midi note sequences can be recorded,stored on file, recalled, and triggeredat will.

Euclidean Euclidean Algorithm AnalysisAlgorithm Analysis
• The central idea here is to divide an arbitrary value in half until there is no remainder
• How can this concept be adapted to generating musical rhythm structures?

Pure Data works just as well asMax/Msp, and it’s free!
