Based on Euclidean rhythms, developed by computer scientist Godfried Toussaint, Euclidean Sequencer is an alternative to the step sequencer and has become very popular with modular synth enthusiast. Euclidean Sequencer for IOS, recreates the modular hardware and allows IOS users to get in on the action. It can run in stand-alone mode or as an AUV3 plug-in, allowing you the freedom to control other apps and external instruments. Featuring 4 sequencer bands and up to 16 patterns per patch, Euclidean Sequencer can create some very unique sequences. Each band can be assigned to a different midi channel and can drive up to four separate synths. You can seamlessly switch between patterns, allowing you to program different sections of a song or sequences for 16 songs at one time. Euclidean can also be controlled by midi, allowing for some exciting performance possibilities. Each band can have up to 64 events. You can easily tweak the settings of each band with the on-screen controls, all in real-time. Setting, such as, the number of steps, number of events, mute, rotation, and playback speed can all be changed on the fly. The playback direction can also be changed from forward to reverse and ping pong. Notes

can be randomized or they can be set to conform to a specific key and scale, or follow chords being played on the keyboard. The tempo can be set to follow itʼs own clock or follow the host tempo. This allows Euclidean to be synced with your other apps. Each band can either play a single note rhythm or you can program each note of the sequence in using the piano roll below the control panel. This gives you the best of both worlds. The real-time modification of a euclidean sequencer with the programability of a standard step sequencer. This is a very useful feature.

Euclidean looks to be tailor made for the mobile musician. With your iPad at the center of your rig, you have real-time control over soft-synths and hardware synths, using your midi controller to orchestrate your performance. All of the main controls are on the screen and easy to reach and many can be assigned to hardware controllers for even more convenience. Iʼm very excited to hear the music that can be made with this new sequencer! Visit www.4Pockets.com for more information. 4 Band Sequencer 16 Patterns per patch. Up to 64 events per band.
