Rhythmic Patterns

NOTES
All tracks will play together in parallel controlled by a segment of the entire
pattern. One pattern will operate singularly while other patterns can be
queued or chained in series. The next pattern will play when the prior
completes. Patterns are by default 16 steps in length but can be extended
up to 64 steps or reduced. The quantize option is managed at pattern level.
Patterns will play and loop from the first designated step (defined by rotation)
through to the last designated step (based on number of steps defined) and
then restart back to the first step.
Each track can have an individual step count and settings which can help
create interesting polyrhythms and sequences.
Think in terms of a track being the ‘instrument’ mainly managed in the tonal
section. Think of a pattern as the ‘melody’. Rhythmic elements in the
pattern are mainly managed in the shape section. The quantize option is
only managed at pattern level.
