I’ve been recently playing with polymeters and, being a dunce when it comes to maths, was finding it difficult to try and understand how to calculate the length of a loop required for all patterns in a sequencer to converge back on the first step.
Today I came across this website tool which allows you to enter the length of each of your patterns in a comma separated row, and it will calculate and tell you where each of the sequences will converge, and finally where all of them will converge at the same time. It will make setting correct sequence lengths on Elektron devices much easier.
Very useful, thank you for sharing! Also very useful for someone recording a polymetric pattern into a DAW so as to know how many bars to record so everything resolves nicely.
my eyes were kinda out of focus when I read this, so I didn’t see the name and the avatar clearly, just that it was a black avatar with some white on it and I only forced my perspective to read the actual post (on my desktop pc mind you) and it looked to me, initially, like your comment was thejewk commenting on his own link, sarcastically. I don’t know why but it made this hilarious, and then even funnier when I focused in and saw it was you posting and making a serious comment to thank him for posting the link.
It really came full circle within a very brief moment, but I got 2 solid laughs out of an online polymetric convergence calculator link. What a time to be alive.
