Generate poly rhythms. Very useful .

Based on idea of Tom Withwell and Muffwiggler community:
Module is now finished and ready to ship.
Quick instruction:
Set Length to step (1-16)
Set Event to a value to change rhythm (Length/Event = 1:1, no rhythm)
Offset moves Event for and back
Push encoder 1-3 to go to Channel 1-3 (row 7 shows channel no)
Row 8 shows: Clock In – Ch1/Offbeat of Ch1 – Ch2 – Ch3
Clock in for external Trigger, unplug = stop all
Reset: set all Channel back
Outputs: Ch 1 – 3 and Offbeat, max 5 Volts
Please read this following info careful several time after playing around. It provides a lot of deeper informations.
/* Instructions:
— Note: when first turned on, it runs automatically from a fixed speed internal clock until it receives
a pulse at the clock input, after that it only triggers externally —
When the rhythms are playing, the display flips between page 1 (steps 1-8) and page 2 (steps 9-16).
Here’s what the display shows…
Row 1: What step is Output 1 playing
Row 2: Output 1 Pattern (steps 1-8 or 9-16)
Row 3: What step is Output 2 playing
Row 4: Output 2 Pattern (steps 1-8 or 9-16)
Row 5: What step is Output 3 playing
Row 6: Output 3 Pattern (steps 1-8 or 9-16)
Row 7: Which channel is selected
– 4 dots on the left for Channel 1
– 4 dots in the middle for Channel 2
– 4 dots on the right for Channel 3
Row 8: Current triggers
1. Input trigger
2. –
3. Output 1 trigger
4. Output 1 off-beat trigger (when Output 1 isn’t playing
5. –
6. Output 2 trigger
7. –
8. Output 3 trigger
- When you have Channel 1 selected and you rotate the N (Length)- and K (Event)- and Offset knobs,
Rows 1 and 2 will respectively show the pattern length (N), pattern density (K) or Offset (O).
The same goes for Channel 2 (Rows 3 and 4) and Channel 3 (Rows 5 and 6) - Rotating the Offset encoder clockwise rotates the steps up to one full rotation
Example:
X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 – Original 16-step pattern (N = 16, K = 1)
0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 – Offset of 1
0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 – Offset of 2
0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 – Offset of 3
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X – Offset of 15
X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 – Offset of 16
