Hello, don’t know much about scales but with the new update could we make some sort of clock divider euclidian thing in combination with indiv track length? How would you start? Any tips welcome and much appreciated!
Could that work to sequence for example A4 with DN scales per track?
What’s the desired effect here? By “clock divider euclidean thing” do you mean sending notes in a generated euclidean pattern, much like a similar eurorack sequencer would? In that case, Digitone wouldn’t be able to generate such patterns.
The track scale feature just changes the speed at which the sequencer runs compared to the source tempo. It’s not the same as euclidean sequencing, which attempts to distribute a given amount of trigs over a pattern length.
Having said that though, there are still some interesting things that can be done using track scale and lengths in combination with master pattern length. For example, a very short track length (e.g. 5 steps) using a 3/4 scale and a M.len of 64 would result in something that borders on getting out of control but resynchronises every 64 steps.
yes I was thinking the way how a eurorack euclid thing works (f.e. 2hp euclid or the squarp pyramid sequencer/hermod), to bad it’s not working like that. So it is working like a simple clock divider thing, f.e. like the 4ms clock divider but not rotating or shuffling? Anyway going to experiment with the scales soon because the of the ratio parameters have been taking all my time. So much fun now and in combination with plocks and a little help from my old Fostex overdrive, my DN can finally sound dirty like my circuit bent SK1.
FWIW I’ve used Pure Data to generate Euclidean rhythms on the Digitone and the Digitakt . The code is available on GitHub. Look at the YouTube comments for the link.
