Polymeters & Asymmetry
As mentioned previously, the sequencer is always polymetric and also
asymmetric. This means that the pitch information is detached from
the trig events. This means you can create complex sequences that
evolve over time depending on the numerical relationships of the dif-
ferent sequence lengths and how they create a continually rotating
pattern. You could see it as an algorithmic arpeggiator, and can take a
while to fully grasp. We highly recommend setting a Scale.
