Anyone here doing rhythm work without sequencers?
I've been noodling with a side project for a couple years trying to figure out how to replicate folk drumming patterns by adding LFOs together and doing beats at the zero crossing. My aim is to create drumming patterns that can flow and evolve. Results are so-so. I cant seem to find much info on other doing this sort of thing.

- rrherr 2y agoCheck out "African Polyphony and Polyrhythm", a presentation by Chris Ford at Strange Loop 2016. He uses Clojure to model traditional central African drumming patterns with variations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK4qctJOMaU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK4qctJOMaU https://github.com/ctford/african-polyphony-and-polyrhythm https://github.com/ctford/african-polyphony-and-polyrhythm
- scarecrowbob 2y agoI'd think that the problem with LFOs is that they don't make it easy to think about rhythm- they are tied to specific times. So it's a hard tool for that kind of work. I've been enjoying tools like "euclidian rhythms" where you have a variety of sounds that all have a fundamental division of beat that they share but have differing numbers of beats-per-bar. I have a squarp pyramid sequencer that implements that quite well. You might look in that direction if you haven't already.
