We have just updated the Hatefish RhyGenerator, the creative euclidean midi rhythm generator.
We are excited to announce the latest update for HATEFISh RhyGenerator, our innovative Euclidean rhythm generator, now at version 1.1.3. This update brings a range of new features, improvements, and bug fixes, making it even more powerful and versatile for creative music production.
HATEFISh RhyGenerator is a unique and cutting-edge tool designed for musicians, producers, and sound designers who want to explore new rhythmic possibilities. As an Euclidean step sequencer, it utilizes a mathematical algorithm to distribute a set number of “beats” as evenly as possible across a specified number of “steps,” which is based on the classic research and paper by Godfried Toussaint. The result is a complex, highly versatile rhythmic pattern that offers intricate yet harmonious results.
The plugin allows users to create up to 16 independent rhythms, each consisting of up to 32 steps. These 16 lanes on the plugin’s user interface are essentially separate step sequencers, each one fully synced to your DAW’s tempo. The flexibility of this setup gives you a highly dynamic environment for generating unique and evolving rhythmic patterns, perfect for genres like electronic music, experimental compositions, and sound design.
Modes and Control
One of the most exciting aspects of the HoRNet RhyGenerator is the variety of modes it offers for controlling the output of each sequencer. The plugin features multiple modes that allow users to produce different types of rhythmic output:
Single Note Mode: In this mode, the sequencer outputs a specific note, determined by your input, according to the rhythm generated by the Euclidean algorithm. This allows you to create complex, polyrhythmic patterns with ease.
Arpeggiator Up and Down Modes: These modes allow you to output a series of notes in ascending or descending order, respectively. By adhering to the Euclidean pattern, these modes let you produce evolving arpeggios that follow the established rhythmic structure. Whether you’re creating smooth, melodic sequences or more dissonant, avant-garde progressions, this mode offers powerful creative flexibility.
Chord Mode: This mode is designed to play all of the input notes together on every active beat, creating harmonic blocks of sound. This feature is perfect for generating chordal structures that sync perfectly with the generated rhythms, giving you a seamless way to build complex harmonic progressions over unique rhythmic backdrops.
MIDI Control Mode: A standout feature of the RhyGenerator is its ability to use MIDI control change messages in place of notes. This opens up a world of possibilities for rhythmically automating parameters in your synthesizers and sound modules. You can apply this mode to modulate any MIDI-compatible parameter of your virtual instruments, such as filter cutoff, reverb depth, or oscillator pitch. This makes RhyGenerator a great tool for live performances, dynamic sound design, and studio production.
Each of these modes can be fully customized with individual control over the number of steps and beats in the sequencer, allowing you to fine-tune every rhythmic element to your liking. Whether you’re working on a single pattern or building a complex multi-lane arrangement, the flexibility of the RhyGenerator ensures that you can always achieve the perfect result.
Advanced Features and MIDI Control
One of the most impressive features of the HoRNet RhyGenerator is the ability to assign a different MIDI channel to each step sequencer. This powerful feature allows you to control up to 16 separate synths simultaneously, providing an incredible level of flexibility and complexity for your compositions. By assigning each lane to a different MIDI channel, you can easily create polyrhythmic compositions that involve multiple instruments, each with its own rhythm and tempo. This is a game-changer for musicians who want to create intricate, evolving soundscapes across multiple synthesizers or virtual instruments.
In addition to the 16 individual sequencers, we’ve included an LFO (Low-Frequency Oscillator) for each sequencer. This LFO allows you to modulate the MIDI message values for each step sequencer, introducing additional movement and variation to the rhythmic patterns. Whether you’re creating subtle variations in the note values or adding more dramatic shifts in parameters, the LFOs give you the ability to add evolving modulations that keep your patterns dynamic and exciting.
Recent Update Details:
The version 1.1.2 update is primarily focused on resolving some technical issues and improving the overall performance and compatibility of the plugin. One notable fix addresses an issue that users were experiencing with Pro Tools. Specifically, the plugin would stop functioning if “Dynamic plugin processing” was enabled in Pro Tools’ preferences. This bug has now been resolved, ensuring that RhyGenerator works seamlessly with Pro Tools and other DAWs without issues.
Additionally, the update includes a fix for a regression bug related to VST mode. We’ve changed the plugin’s VST mode to “instrument” to improve stability and compatibility, ensuring that users can enjoy a more consistent experience across all major DAWs and platforms.
The update is free for current owners of the plugin, and can be easily downloaded from the user area of the website. As always, we recommend updating to the latest version to take full advantage of the improvements and fixes.
Conclusion
The HoRNet RhyGenerator is more than just a simple step sequencer—it’s a creative tool that opens up new possibilities for rhythm generation, sound design, and MIDI control. With its Euclidean algorithm-based design, versatile output modes, and advanced features like multi-channel MIDI control and LFO modulation, the plugin offers unmatched creative potential for musicians, producers, and sound designers alike. Whether you’re looking to create intricate rhythms, automate synthesizer parameters, or experiment with complex polyrhythms, RhyGenerator gives you all the tools you need to elevate your music to the next level.
If you’re looking to break free from traditional rhythmic structures and explore new musical territory, the HoRNet RhyGenerator is the perfect addition to your plugin collection. Try it today and start creating the next generation of music!
