2.3 Functional Relationship
The sequencer engine and the musical parameter settings operate together with dependencies that
help create complex and advanced rhythmic and melodic sequences with an almost endless
number of options.
Think of the rst steps being the creation of rhythmic patterns, mainly generated by the Euclidean
sequencer. These patterns trigger notes.
Develop the pattern even further with advanced variations and multiple modulation options to create
and elevate expressive arrangements.
Build on top with the pitch based features to develop beyond a pure rhythmic pattern into a melodic
sequence and progressions. Go even further towards the generative and organic structures and
build live performances which include randomisation.
