Author: ahlstrominfo
Device Type: MIDI Effect
Description: I needed something simple for Ableton Push 3 Stand Alone

Euclidean rhythm-based arpeggiator that triggers from held chords
Hold down any chord and this device generates a euclidean arpeggio pattern automatically. It uses euclidean rhythm distribution to create mathematically even note spacing.
Parameters:

Speed: Arpeggio rate (1/16 = sixteenth notes)
Length: How many hits/triggers in the euclidean pattern (3 = 3 active steps)
Duration: Note length as percentage (100 = full length)
Steps: Total steps in the euclidean cycle
Shift: Rotates the pattern timing
Reset: Restarts pattern from beginning
Skip Notes: Excludes certain notes from the pattern

How it works:

Hold down a chord (any number of notes)
Euclidean algorithm distributes Length number of hits across Steps total steps
Device cycles through your held chord notes on each hit
Release chord to stop

Example: Length=3, Steps=8 creates pattern: X--X--X- (3 hits evenly spaced in 8 steps)
Use Cases:

Create complex polyrhythmic arpeggios from simple chords
Generate mathematical, non-repetitive arp patterns
Explore euclidean rhythm concepts musically
Add rhythmic interest to sustained chord progressions

Perfect for creating organic-feeling yet precise rhythmic arpeggiation patterns.
