Title: Ancient math. Modern groove.

"Ancient math. Modern groove."

Euclidean rhythms hit The BumbleBee.

A few more checks, and in a few days, updates for the apps, firmware and manuals will be available.


Les rythmes euclidiens débarquent sur The BumbleBee 😉

Encore quelques vérifications, et dans quelques jours, les mises à jour des applications, du firmware et des manuels seront dispos.

Is it possible to use the sensor X and Y to influence the E.STEPS and E.HITS of the sequence? I was really hoping to be able to dynamically change those so I can make more complex 'live' rhythms.

Yes, technically, but I don't see the point: changing the STEPS or HITS alters the Euclidean rhythm too drastically, in my opinion, for it to be interesting. Musically, you'd practically need to morph the HITS for it to sound good.
I think the MULTI SEQ would be more suitable for your needs.

Fair, it would get a tad confusing perhaps.
Finally got the time to try out the new firmware, it works great. I really like the extra GAP and XOR modes, you can get some great rhythms going. Now going to see what I can do with controlling my LXR-2, watch this space :-)

I'm really happy to hear from you ;) Please feel free to share the results of your experiments and how you've used it

Been busy, forgot to report back. I tried to have the B3 send CCs to the LXR-02 to update settings realtime while playing rhythms. Lets just say the LXR does not like large amounts of incoming CCs at the same time. I had some very creative errors resulting in destroyed patches most of the time. My conclusion is that the LXR is running at the limit of what the CPU can handle, I should not push it. So it goes :-)
