Should Generative Rhythms Use Clocks Instead of LFOs?

Why Generative Rhythm Needs a Master Clock

Many beginners use an LFO as the timing source for rhythm generation.

While this works for isolated patches, it often creates problems when several rhythmic systems must cooperate.

Euclidean Sequencers: Controlled Irregularity in Generative Music

Euclidean sequencers occupy an interesting position between order and apparent randomness.

They do not generate random patterns at all. Instead, they distribute events… read more
