Just copy the files into your Max search path.

hi i'm really interested in this algorythm, kinda new to max though, so, how exactly should i approach it if i want some sound to come out? :)

It's generating a sequence with a defined length with on and off states. You could for example tranform the result to a midi sequence.

beautiful patch! Thank you for share!
Could you explain the algorithm? I don`t understand connection from total steps to int in (count+=hits) block. Seems like i`ve missed smth.

Hi, thanks. the int that you mean is holding the 'count' and the 'count' is initiated with the 'totalSteps' value (hence the connection). there's only one 'count' value in the algorithm but in the patch there are 3 [int] holding the value. That's why they update each other if changed. regards O.

Yes, I understand that , but after first bang from uzi this int takes a different value from [-] (count-=hits). Anyway it doesnt matter It works perfect!

This is how it's done in a text-based language:


for (i = 0; i < len; i++)
{
pattern <<= 1;
if (cnt >= len)
{
SET_BIT(pattern, 0);
cnt -= len;
}
cnt += pulses
}

Maybe that helps to better understand the patcher. O.

Hallo, google "euclidean algorithm in music" and you will find many answers. This is the basic building block for things like euclidean rhythm generators.
