I’d love to see options to configure easily a polyrithmic melody line in a second instance, based on a first melody. So inherit another time signature on top of the first melody.
It’s funny you bring that up - I was just thinking about polyrhythms, specifically Euclidean rhythms. I wonder if there is a way to take the chords output by Scaler and have each note of the chord generate a different Euclidean rhythm? I guess it would be a sort of Euclidean arpeggiator. Does such a thing exist?
This is good. On offer at moment for €6.
Got this one, not an easy or flexible tool at all
RPE is nice, but doesn’t accept incoming midi, ie a chord.
I have HATEFISh, it’s very simple and good for some things. But it can’t take an incoming chord and split the notes across its rhythm “lanes” so each note plays at a different rhythm.
Yeah, maybe I’m missing something, but I can’t get HY-RPE2 to use “live” incoming chords from Scaler to drive the playback. @KCFYX, since you mentioned it, do you know of a way to do this?
The setup I use, have RPE output C Maj scale to Scaler from C3 onwards, and have Scaler adjust output to notes from chord.
Scaler actually comes out of the box with a couple of different time signatures, all you have to do is overlap them across multiple tracks, each with a differently configured Scaler instance…
Alternatively, you can play with the “Humanize” menu options, such as “Swing”…
or “Quantize”…
Not actually give you lot of freedom selecting any time signature you want to use on top of a 4/4 or other time signature sequence like typing in manually a 9/16 or 7/11.
Not sure, would need to check and experiment…
Likely that Scaler doesn’t address every musical case for polyrhythms. As a fellow polyrhythm afficionado, I was quite pleased with what came out of the box already. For the more nuanced requirements I have my complementary tool set (Reaktor, Falcon, and various iOS based MIDI Sequencers with flexible timing).
From a percussion standpoint, I’ve had some interesting proofs of concept…
Try out Scaler for percussion! - General Discussion - Scaler Plugin - Community Forum
I’m waiting for this…
Thanks, this is a great tip! I was thinking about it backwards, trying to send Scaler into RPE. Sending RPE into Scaler as you suggest works perfectly. I just needed to use Chord Mute:
Just for anyone wondering, Midinous is excellent. Great fun.
Late to the conversation here, looks like fun, reminds me of Nodal.
