Dynamic / density control. A musical approach...

[Adesso]

... to be applied to pre-existing note patterns.

So happy, it works!!! I have been always wondering if there is a simple algorithmic way to control musical parameters on pre-existing note patterns. Then during my work on the Euclidean Rhythm Generator I had the idea to try the Euclidean approach to control 'density'. As it works very well on constructing patterns why shouldn't it be suitable also for the opposite - thinning out complex patterns. So I worked out an algorithm which can be applied to existing patterns and integrated it in my Euclidean Rhythm Generator. A real-time control via MIDI has been implemented in combination with a dedicated parameter set.

As a next step it should be experimented on imported MIDI tracks.

Looking forward to receiving some feedback,

Very intriguing. Hard to tell what any knob is going to do just by previewing the video, because the output appears to be more hands-off. And what do you mean by thinning out existing patterns? Is each 1-shot a loaded drum pad or sampler/simpler? And by thinning out patterns, are you subtracting from the Euclidean generator's own patterns, or could you thin out a MIDI clip sequence? Fired clips?
In any case, looking forward to giving it a spin!
