Awesome tip! Another fun thing to try is to make the same pattern but at double tempo so you end up spreading the notes a part further. This “increases the resolution of the step sequencer“ allowing for the note change to be a bit more subtle. I really hope that makes sense. Haha

Technically speaking (and musically), a polyrhythm is not equal to phasing. A polyrhythm is defined not by just two separate rhythms playing at the same time - that would be two separate rhythms - ostinato pattern - but rather a single polyrhythm. A polyrhythm has its own characteristic and unique rhythmic personality. 3over4, 6over4, 4over3, i.e. both rhythms play themsrlves out within the same time frame wuth each note equally soa6ced apart (one can add notes to create ornamentation to these rhythms of course but the basic structure/groove is still there.

This principle will also work on my Model:Cycles.
Nice effect

Thank you for keeping the Digitone-centric uploads alive on YT... I will try and add to the genre as well! But for now! you are single handly holding it up for us all to enjoy!

Lovely, and great tip about the pattern switching at the end.

[@Interzone1]

Nice, simple and effective but with a lot of power for creativity.

[@garaughty]

Brilliant work on this Nix !

[@robvbeats]

Very Cool! thx~

[@baconbigbeats]

Another great video but couldn’t you do this the easy what which is delay with an lfo?

[@iharjula]

I thought about small stone :D.

[@thomasweiler5319]

I thought you were gonna have a hack for getting real phasing on the Digitone 😢 still cool though! Just not really phasing. The octatrack can kind of do phasing with different playback speeds of samples though, so technically possible on Elektron stuff.

This is a polymeter not a poly rythm :-)
