In reply to Lux. I've a euclidean sampler in the team to library. Twisted Debris Sampler MKIII. The cat you require is the SEQ2 by by plugins. That has 6 sequencer modes. Euclidean being 1.

In reply to xrx. > it is a way to explain rhythms that have been used two thousand years now you just described music theory. you don't necessarily have to know the why to write a good song, but if you don't have the inbuilt talent that truly not that many possess, it helps.

In reply to Jert. Eucldean rhythms is not about theory, at the very best it is a way to explain rhythms that have been used two thousand years now. Or do you think that in africa they were looking for the common denominator before every music event?

Eckel by Shuriken is a donationware VST for Windows & Mac OS X that generates Euclidean rhythms: http://www.shuriken.se/?page_id=97

Also, there’s a open source Mac OS X application — Euclidean-Pattern-Generator — that outputs to MIDI and/or OSC: https://github.com/WouterHisschemoller/Euclidean-Pattern-Generator

You missed the point entirely.

Understanding theory isn’t important if you want to regurgitate what you’ve heard.

But if you want to get creative with it – and play with what you’ve heard – you have to on some level understand how music works, why a rhythm can sound completely different in a different context, why some rhythms are used more frequently than others, how to extrapolate what works in 4/4 to other meters and so on.

This theory provides a very useful tool for analyzing and playing with rhythms.

In reply to Polyrhythms. Care to elaborate?

In reply to stub. i would be surprised if anyone needs Euclidean rhythms to come up with some of the patterns of the video...

In reply to xrx. Maybe you are joking. But if not, it's totally ok if Euclidian Rhythms aren't interesting to you. 16th notes are just fine.

Nice explanation but ‘euclidean rhythms’ is just a fad for something not really that interesting..

Euclidean rhythms feature in the new Pyramid sequencer. That unit is very interesting to me as its hard ware but includes such functions & outputs usb, midi & cv. Poly rhythm structures with math AI side input make for interesting occurrences, whether it’s rhythmical or tonal, awesome for baselines also.

Numerology is your friend. If you have a Mac.

The user known on the Five12 forums as “Jue” put together a rather amazing package of Euclidean sequence generators.

Toussaint is a respected researcher and contributor to the field of computational geometry. He has done a fair bit of work in music similarity measurement, most recently at Harvard. He’s quoted extensively as an authoritative reference in a number of university-level texts, e.g. Computational Geometry in C (O’Rourke).

In addition to the scholarly research and higher-level texts, there are a number of good accessible popular texts out there too on generative music / music analysis, e.g. Music and Mathematics (David Wright) and, guess what, 🙂 Mathematics and Music (Various: Fauvel et al.)

Worth a read.
