Euclidean Fill
Euclidean ll algorithm will populate the selected tracks with a series of
steps in a pattern from mathematically generated sequences. Euclidean
patterns are generated based on a dened number of events, which aims
to be equally spaced across the track length. The ll command will affect
the step placement, the sample will typically be the ‘work step’ sample.
▌ CREATING PATTERNS FROM EUCLIDEAN FILLS
1. To maximise the features from the Fill function ensure the sample pool
is populated as required. Sample packs are required to be loaded to the
project sample pool to maximise some ll functions. Create a work step.
2. Select the tracks to ll into by pressing the function pad [Select] for the
respective tracks. Rows represent tracks. The Track will illuminate blue
and the track select function button bright green. If multiple tracks are
selected the patterns for each are identical.
3. Press [Fill] button. Initial selection of ll will select the mode. When
subsequently pressing the [Fill] button within the ll mode, a ll will be
initiated to populate steps on selected tracks.
4. Select ‘Euclidean’ Fill algorithm. Ensure the upper ll parameter is set to
‘Euclidean’. Press the left side [Screen] button to ensure the algorithm
type is in focus. Turn (Screen) when the upper parameter is highlighted
to select the algorithm, in this example select ‘Euclidean’.
5. Set the number of ‘Euclidean’ Fill algorithm events. Press the left side
[Screen] button to ensure events is in focus. Turn (Screen) when the
lower parameter is highlighted to select the number of events between
1-64. Event numbers higher than the total step count will fully populate
the pattern 100%. The events aim to be equally spaced, where possible
across the track step count.
6. Press [Fill] button again. The pattern will be created based on the
current work step setting and number of events. Variations from the
previous ll are only applied if different event settings are set prior to
pressing [Fill].
7. Each track can then be edited individually. For example, the sample can
be changed per track while retaining the ll generated pattern steps.
Also why not try using the other Randomize or Chance parameters to
add variation to the ll generated tracks.
