The HoRNet RhyGenerator is a powerful Euclidean step sequencer designed to boost your creativity.
We are happy to announce the availability of HATEFISh RhyGenerator, an innovative step sequencer plugin that creates Euclidean rhythms. Whether you’re an experienced producer or just starting out, the RhyGenerator is designed to simplify the process of creating complex and intricate rhythmic patterns. This plugin, based on the Euclidean rhythm concept, provides a flexible and intuitive tool for creating unique and engaging beats that will help your music stand out in any genre.
The HoRNet RhyGenerator is an Euclidean step sequencer that distributes a certain number of “beats” as evenly as possible across a given number of “steps.” If you’re unfamiliar with Euclidean rhythms, they refer to a method of distributing beats that creates balanced and consistent rhythmic patterns. This technique is widely used in a variety of musical genres, particularly electronic music, and is based on the classic paper by Godfried Toussaint. In simple terms, the plugin takes the beats you input and arranges them across the steps of the sequence in a way that creates a more evenly spaced rhythm, leading to a smooth, hypnotic effect that’s perfect for driving your tracks forward.
One of the standout features of the RhyGenerator is its ability to create up to 16 rhythms, each consisting of up to 32 steps. This gives you the flexibility to experiment with both short and long rhythmic patterns that can evolve over time. Each of the 16 lanes on the plugin’s GUI (Graphical User Interface) acts as a separate step sequencer, allowing you to work with multiple layers of rhythm simultaneously. Each sequencer is fully linked to your DAW’s tempo, ensuring tight synchronization with your project.
The RhyGenerator offers five distinct modes of operation, each with its own unique capabilities:
Single Note Mode: In this mode, the sequencer outputs a specific note following the rhythm generated by the Euclidean algorithm. This is perfect for creating straightforward melodic patterns that are tightly locked to your rhythm.
Arpeggiator Up Mode: When you switch to this mode, the sequencer will output the notes from the plugin’s input in ascending order, respecting the rhythm pattern you’ve defined. This creates an arpeggiated effect that can add movement and energy to your track.
Arpeggiator Down Mode: Similar to Arpeggiator Up, this mode outputs the notes in descending order. The effect is perfect for creating downward arpeggios that provide a sense of musical descent, ideal for breakdowns or transitions.
Chord Mode: In Chord mode, the sequencer plays all input notes together on every active beat. This is ideal for creating rich, harmonic textures and adding depth to your rhythm section. Whether you’re using complex chords or simple triads, this mode gives your track a fuller, more harmonically complex sound.
Control Mode: Instead of sending notes, Control mode uses MIDI control change messages. This allows you to rhythmically automate any parameter of your synths or other MIDI-compatible devices. Whether you’re modulating filter cutoff, volume, or effect parameters, this mode lets you create evolving, dynamic changes throughout your track, adding an extra layer of creativity to your production.
Each sequencer gives you control over the number of steps and beats separately, which adds a high degree of flexibility and precision. You can experiment with varying the length of the rhythm and adjust the number of active beats within that sequence, creating a wide variety of rhythmic textures. This flexibility makes the RhyGenerator ideal for anyone from electronic producers to sound designers, who want to explore the power of Euclidean rhythms in their music.
For even greater versatility, you can assign a different MIDI channel to each step sequencer. This feature enables you to control up to 16 different synths simultaneously, providing you with an incredible amount of creative freedom and potential for complex layering. Whether you’re using multiple instruments, sound modules, or external MIDI devices, the MIDI channel assignment gives you seamless control over multiple sound sources at once, making it a great tool for live performances and complex studio arrangements.
Additionally, each sequencer is equipped with its own LFO (Low-Frequency Oscillator), which allows you to modulate the MIDI message value over time. This feature adds an extra level of dynamism to your patterns, enabling you to introduce subtle or drastic variations to your rhythm and MIDI control messages. With the LFO, you can create wobbling effects, pulsing textures, and other dynamic changes that make your rhythmic sequences feel more organic and evolving.
The RhyGenerator uses the Euclidean rhythm algorithm to create rhythmic patterns in just a few seconds. The ease of use and intuitive design of the plugin make it an excellent choice for producers looking for quick results without compromising on creativity or control. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, the RhyGenerator helps you achieve complex rhythms without the steep learning curve often associated with other sequencers or rhythmic tools.
