Spread hits evenly with the Euclidean algorithm or generate a reproducible random rhythm. Adjust the steps, hits, and rotation, then hear the pattern, share it, or export a MIDI clip for your sequencer.
Ready to play E(3, 8).

Three hits are spread as evenly as possible across eight steps.
Rotation changes the starting point without changing the gaps between hits. This is useful when the spacing feels right but the downbeat does not.
A Euclidean rhythm distributes hits across a fixed number of steps so the gaps are as even as possible. If the spacing cannot be perfectly equal, the pattern alternates between the two closest gap sizes.
The label E(3, 8) means three hits distributed across eight steps. This page displays hits first inside the mathematical label, while the controls use the more familiar sequencer order: steps, then hits.
Use the polyrhythm generator when you want two simultaneous pulse streams instead of one distributed step pattern. Read the algorithmic music guide to compare both systems and add constrained probability to your workflow.
Choose Seeded random rhythm when you want exact control over the cycle length and number of hits without even spacing. The generator places that many hits at random positions, while the seed keeps the result reproducible.
The New random pattern button changes only the seed, so your steps, density, tempo, and rotation stay intact. Because the seed is stored in the URL, anyone opening a shared link hears the same rhythm, and the MIDI export preserves the same step pattern.
