Polyrhythm is a multitrack algorithmic sequencer for generating a quick beat or melody. I really like using it with a drum rack to get a beat started. The length of each pattern can be set independently, which makes the rhythms it generates feel a lot less boring and loop-y.
There are two pattern algorithms: a classic Euclidean, and Omni, which allows you to generate literally any gate pattern up to 16 steps in length with just three controls.
Finally, this device has a clever way to allow you to toggle between polymetric and polyrhythmic rhythms. If you want to learn more about what the difference between those is, check out this video I made: https://studio.youtube.com/video/RfogBGCYYLo/edit
Polymetric or Polyrhythmic: The difference between these is how they handle when two patterns of different lengths are playing simultaneously. Polymeters are the quantized, grid-based rhythms you’ll get from most drum machines. Polyrhythms are much weirder. With this device, you can have either.
Two Pattern Algorithms: The reliable and effective Euclidean algorithm supports up to 64 steps, while the powerful Omni algorithm can generate literally any pattern up to 16 steps in length.
Scale Aware: When Scales are enabled for the MIDI Clip, the notes this device generates will always be fit to the scale.
Theme Support: Full support for Live’s color themes so that the device matches the look and feel of your Live set.

To install MIDI Tools, first double-click to decompress the ZIP archive it arrived in. !
In Live’s Browser, navigate to the User Library in Places
Then find the MIDI Tools folder located there. If you don’t see a folder called MIDI Tools in your User Library, simply create it yourself.
We’d advice adding two subfolders for Generators and Transformers for neatness.
Finally, drag our Generators to the Generators subfolder and our Transformers to the Transformers subfolder
Live should automatically detect them and within the next few minutes, they should appear in the dropdown chooser of Live’s Generators or Transformers in the corresponding tab of any MIDI Clip’s Note Editor.
PLEASE NOTE: Once installed MIDI Tools, since they are not Max MIDI Effects, cannot be dragged and dropped onto MIDI tracks: they can only be loaded by the Generator and Transformer tabs of the MIDI clip editor.
