Creating & Rotating Syncopated Patterns
Assigning two or more pads to the Euclidean function and patching them to different sound sources
results in interesting musically syncopated patterns.
In the following example, we’ve set Pad 1 to a 4/16 (four on the floor) pattern and Pad 2 to a
syncopated 5/16 pattern (five gates spaced as evenly as possible across the 16 steps). Combined,
they create the syncopated pattern shown on the bottom.
Without changing any of the actual euclidean parameters, you can then “rotate” one of the patterns,
so that the two patterns are offset. This is done simply by tapping one of the pads to reset it. In the
following example, we’ve tapped Pad 2 exactly one step after Pad 1, resulting in a syncopated pattern
with an entirely different feel than the one in which both patterns started on Beat 1:
