Ableton/Live/UG/11 MIDI Tools/03 Generative Tools/01 Rhythm
- Generates a repeating rhythm on one pitch or drum pad, chosen with Pitch or by
Option-clicking (Mac) / Alt-clicking (Win) the piano ruler. - Steps (up to 16), Pattern (the arrangement of hits; choices depend on Steps and Density), and Density (how many notes).
- Step Duration sets the step length and so how often the pattern repeats in the selection: in one bar, 8 steps of 1/8 play once, of 1/16 twice. Split is the chance a step divides in two; Shift moves the pattern by steps.
- Velocity and Accent set normal and accented velocity; Accent Frequency sets how many notes apart accents fall (1 accents every note), and Accent Offset moves them.
- Deselect the result and run it again on another pitch or pad to layer rhythms.
