Euclidean Patterns
Euclidean patterns are a more creative ll function. While the other options
perform a population based on structure, Euclidean option aims to be more
creative in generating musical sequences. Euclidean patterns are
generated based on a mathematical model where the steps and intervals
determine a pattern melody. Tracker+ uses ‘events’ and the step length to
calculate the steps and intervals.
Consider the following formula as rough guide for Euclidean lled patterns.
Steps will be ‘rounded’ to the nearest step location to spread as ‘evenly’ as
possible within the event and length constraints.
Examples:
Step Length / Euclidean Event Setting
8 Steps in the Length,
Event = 4.
4 Steps in the Length,
Event = 3.
8 Steps in the Length,
Event = 5.
5 Steps in the Length,
Event = 2.
8 Steps in the Length,
Event = 7.
3 Steps in the Length,
Event = 2.
