Rudimentary MIDI multitrack with Euclidean rhythm generation on RK-002
- Each track contains max 16 notes.
- Each track can have a different length (pattern of 16 steps by default).
- An offset can be added to each track.
- Each note is triggered according to a Euclidean rhythm defined by track (by defining the number of trigs)
- Each track can be played in arpeggio mode (one note per trig) or in chord mode (all notes are played at each trig)
- The duration of the notes can be generated by following one of the 5 choices [Same duration of a step, Fixed Random, Live Random, NumberOfStep / NumberOfHit, NumberOfStep / (NumberOfHit * 2)]
- For now, it only uses an internal clock.
- The BPM is 120 by default, could be increased / decreased by 1 or 10.
- It uses midi channel 1.

The general operation is as follows:
Select a Track, then a Mode and modify (increase or decrease) its value.
-
Delete the notes of a track:
([
D1] or [E1] or [F1] or [G1]) + [C1] + [A#0] -
Add an offset in a track:
([
D1] or [E1] or [F1] or [G1]) + [C1] + [B0] -
Change the generation mode of the note duration:
([
D1] or [E1] or [F1] or [G1]) + [C#1] + [A#0]
- Press and hold D1 to select Track 1
- While holding D1, enter few notes, they are now recorded in track 1
- Then press and hold D1 and F#1 (to enter Euclide Mode for the Track 1)
- While holding those keys, set the number of hit for the pattern by pressing B0.
- The sequence will begin to play the entered notes when you let go.
