We’ve just released an update for Hatefish RhyGenerator, our creative Euclidean MIDI rhythm generator.

The HoRNet RhyGenerator is a Euclidean step sequencer that arranges a specified number of “beats” as evenly as possible over a set number of “steps.” You can dive deeper into this concept by exploring the classic research paper by Godfried Toussaint.

With RhyGenerator, you can craft up to 16 individual rhythms, each with a maximum of 32 steps. The plugin’s interface features 16 distinct lanes, each representing an independent step sequencer, all synced to your DAW’s tempo. Each sequencer offers multiple operational modes, including Single Note, Arpeggiator Up, Arpeggiator Down, Chord, and MIDI Control.

In “Note” mode, the sequencer outputs the selected note based on the rhythm generated by the Euclidean algorithm. In “Arpeggiator Up” or “Arpeggiator Down” modes, the sequencer plays notes from the input in ascending or descending order, following your defined rhythmic pattern.

In “Chord” mode, all input notes are triggered together on each active beat. Meanwhile, “Control” mode lets the sequencer send MIDI control change messages instead of notes, allowing you to rhythmically automate parameters of your synths. Each sequencer gives you independent control over the number of steps and beats, offering both flexibility and precision.

To enhance versatility, each step sequencer can be assigned to a different MIDI channel, enabling you to control up to 16 synths at once. Additionally, we’ve integrated an LFO for each sequencer, allowing you to modulate MIDI message values for more dynamic control.

Bug fixes in this update:

  • Resolved black GUI issue in Logic 10.5
  • Fixed crash when loading presets in standalone version
  • Fixed project freeze in Studio One when saving

This update is free for current plugin owners and can be downloaded from the user area.
