Euclidean Rhythm Module

The Orb Former generates two independent Euclidean rhythms in real-time by evenly distributing beats across a set number of steps. The OLED display visualizes the rhythms, and control is provided through potentiometers and buttons. The Steps Sequencer can output a maximum of 16 steps.

The two buttons pause or start the left or right sequence, respectively. The reset input resets both sequences to the beginning. The interrupt mode button halts both sequences and stops the clock. Pressing it again exits the interrupt mode.

The potentiometers control the number of beats and steps. An example of polyrhythm: With 16 steps and 3 beats on the left channel and 13 steps with 5 beats on the right channel, a rhythmic overlap occurs. Both rhythms only synchronize after 208 steps, leading to complex patterns.

Each sequence is coupled with an LED that lights up with every beat. The Orb Former provides an intuitive way to create complex Euclidean rhythms and polyrhythmic patterns, ideal for creative music applications.

 

This module is currently a prototype and has not yet gone into production.
