3. 24 i l I e In Density 1 1 5 is available a interesting snapshots rhythm generator and step sequencer The aim of this device is to control the snapshot recall by improvising with different rhythmic pulses that trigger the snapshots contained in a step sequencer _beats cycle a metronome is synced to global transport and outputs a trigger on each beat The beats are counted in what we re defining as a a cycle of lt n gt beats Cycle subpatcher Each time the cycle restarts we re choosing whether or not we want to change the current time interval This is set by using a probability factor ChangeProb subpatcher If the program decides to change the time interval a trig is sent _time intervals up to eight time intervals can be selected The choice is performed with a random function according to a weight probability for each possible interval an interval with a weight of 2 will have twice as many chances to be selected by the random procedure that an interval that has a weight of 1 step sequencer when a given time interval is chosen it is used as a step rate for driving the step sequencer The step sequencer is synced to global transport so the steps are played in accordance with transport tempo The snap sequencer has many editing modes that allow for modifying the snapshots content snap amp etc output the snap sequencer outputs a list of data each time a step is triggered Each data type
