This track is a demo for the newest version 1.2 of the Euclidean Pattern Generator. Read the full article about this version on my website:

The application is free and open source. Please find the files on GitHub:

And here's a short introduction video about the app and version 1.2:

This is the last version of the program written in Java. I actually wrote the software five years ago, but never got around to properly finish it. Now I did, and I tested it with this track.

A new feature in version 1.2 is the ability to start and stop patterns with MIDI notes. For this track there's two way MIDI communication between Ableton Live and the Euclidean Pattern Generator:

One MIDI track in Ableton Live sends MIDI notes to the pattern generator. The notes start and stop patterns. Each Euclidean pattern is triggered by a different note pitch, so all notes together form a song arrangement.

The rhythms that the patterns generate are also MIDI notes. They are sent back from the Euclidean Pattern Generator to Ableton Live on different MIDI channels. So that each pattern plays it's own instrument on a separate track in Ableton Live.

The two tracks Euclidean Patterns Demo 1 &amp; 2 accompany an article on my website about a Java program I wrote that uses a mathematical algorithm to generate polyrhythms known as Euclidean rhythms. The software sends MIDI notes to connected soft- or hardware.
