How is Euclidean Sequencing Applied in T-1?
The SHAPE section of T-1 hosts parameters that define pattern structures
and their components. Here there are 4 core parameters that form the
foundation for T-1 Euclidean sequencing.
• Steps: Total number of steps within the patterns cycle for each track.
The range is 1-16 and by default is set to the maximum 16 steps.
Steps are presented as DIMMED BLUE
⬛ when pressing (STEPS).
• Pulses: A pulse is a note event. Empty steps trigger nothing while a
pulse will trigger an note event to create beats and melodies.
Number of pulses can be generated and are automatically spread
evenly across the total number of available steps. Pulses are
presented in ORANGE
⬛ when pressing (PULSES).
• Rotate: The starting point or first step in the pattern.
• Division: This is the division value between each note step and sets
the timing of each step in the pattern. Press (DIVISION) to see the
current setting, illuminated in WHITE
⬛ .
There are many other parameters than can build on and expand the
Euclidean pattern. These will be covered later in more detail.
