Strangelight AudioEuclidean Sequencer
Spreads hits evenly across steps for Euclidean rhythms.
Rate
Sets each step duration as a straight, dotted or triplet division of the selected Clock.
Changing Rate changes step duration; changing Steps changes pattern length in division timing.

Swing
Delays every second Clock-origin step while preserving each pair duration; 100% gives a 2:1 shuffle.
Higher values make alternating steps longer and shorter, while each pair keeps the same total duration.
Steps
Sets the total number of steps in the Euclidean pattern.
Higher values lengthen the pattern in division timing. Legacy cycle timing keeps four Clock beats and shortens each step.
Pulses
Sets the number of note pulses the sequencer spreads across the pattern.
Higher values make the pattern denser; 0 produces no notes.
If Pulses exceeds Steps, the pattern cannot add more active positions.
Rotation
Moves pulses right to later steps by the selected amount, wrapping at the boundary.
Shifts the same rhythm along the cycle without changing its density.
Pitch
Sets the MIDI note emitted for each active pulse.
Higher values make every pulse emit a higher note.
Velocity
Sets velocity for ordinary pulses; a connected Velocity input overrides it.
Changes ordinary note velocity. Accented pulses use Accent instead; velocity 0 emits no note-on.
Gate Ratio
Sets each note length as a fraction of its step.
Lower values make shorter, more detached notes; 100% holds each note to the next step.
Inputs
Clock
Musical phase clock for Euclidean timing. With no cable it follows the global clock; a Clock, MIDI Clock, or Clock Divider cable overrides it. Legacy triggers are accepted.
| Signal | Clock |

Accent
Live accent velocity; overrides Accent velocity without changing accent selection.
| Signal | Control |
|---|---|
| Unit | MIDI Velocity |
| Range | 0 to 127 MIDI Velocity |
| Default | 127 |
Scale
A Scale cable constrains emitted notes to its key and scale.

How it works
The sequencer spreads Pulses across Steps so no two gaps between pulses differ by more than one step. Positive Rotation moves pulses to later steps and wraps them past the end to the start. Accents move with their pulses and stay attached to those positions during traversal. A connected Scale constrains each emitted pitch. Swing changes step lengths; Gate Ratio follows each swung step. Notes stop with the transport.
When to use
Use it for evenly spaced rhythms, rotating accents, and patterns that change character as the step and pulse counts move against each other.
Tips
- Rate: Older patches show 4-beat cycle (legacy), which keeps each step at 4 / current Steps Clock beats. Selecting a division switches timing mode; select the legacy choice to return.
