I have it. I’m going to use it now and see what the differences are. Explained in this video I linked above, the new sequencer provides true polymeters. The midi fx version of Euclidean does not. I will see if pro does.
Also interested in seeing how Euclidean pro looks on my push3 standalone.
This device is awesome. Doesn’t seem to be posted to the official m4l site yet unfortunately.
The only major drawback for me is that you can’t add non-diatonic notes. Big bummer. I’ve messaged the developer who was very receptive. Hopeful they’ll implement it.
It’s very clever. I have been somewhat surprised that there hasn’t been all that much midi-tool development, and there especially has not been much out there that is useful for “traditional songwriting” purposes.
Yeah I’d agree that there are few “musical” devices coming. There’s a lot of random generators, and that’s good and all - but musical focus is very handy.
Of the tools I’ve seen so far, the ones that stand out to me are the M2TM tools, specifically Chords and Progressions. These allow for use of classic musical knowledge but via typing in your chosen chords.
I think Meridian is intrerestingly musical as sequencers go. All ijo’s devices work well in a musical context, no shrieking dissonance or uncontrolled randomness from what I can tell.
I also like this sequencer as well, which is pitched as a jamming mate like in a band. It works well.
Open to hearing of any more devices that have traditional songwriting results whether the be sequencers or effects etc.
Thanks! Yes I picked that one up too. So far have mostly used the chords device so far, but I want to get into that a bit more too, as that one looks a bit more complex.
I made my own M4L take on the DFAM/Edge, I guess it is closer to the original in design than Dyad (which I love and this isn’t an attempt to rip that off, I was already working on mine!) but has some nice extras like 2 extra mod sequencers. Everything is randomizable which is a lot of fun and you can grab it for free (or pay what you like )
