Pattern Divisions - a unique rhythmic sequencer for Max for Live!

Changelog for version 1.1.2:

• Fixed an issue where changing the pattern length would cause the sequencer to skip the last note in the pattern

Changelog for version 1.1:

• MIDI mappable master sequence
• Adjustable pattern length

A 16-step beat sequencer with simple controls and complex, musical outputs.

Pattern Divisions is designed to be a fast, fun way of generating rhythmic ideas for up to four voices. Each rhythm is derived from making simple changes to the same basic pattern, so all four voices will play in a way that is rhythmically related, either subtly or overtly.

The 16-step grid at the top of the device is used to set a rhythmic pattern, which is the starting point for the four "divisions" beneath. Each division will trigger a MIDI note after a given number of notes in the pattern. The resulting rhythms can then be offset from the playback of the other divisions and assigned to a particular MIDI pitch. Pattern Divisions also supports MIDI pass through, so you can layer its output with any other MIDI sequencing inside of Ableton.

Rhythmically related patterns that are great for percussive or melodic sounds!
