User manual

Template selector contains list of available templates. These are ordinary rhythms, except each loop box contains more
than single loop. See Generate button help for more info.
Generate template button
Generate template button creates a template simply by merging multiple rhythms. When you press this button, a window
for selecting rhythms is displayed. Select multiple of them and store the result as a template. You can then use this
template in the generator.
Generate button
Generate button generates a new rhythm using the selected template. It loads the template, which is nothing else than a
rhythm with multiple loops in each box. Then it mingles all loops in each box and produces one resulting loop. This feature
is especially useful for creating base rhythms for rhythm generator. In electronic music the background (hihats and rides
for example) are usually switching between several patterns, and this feature can easily produce these sequences.

Advanced settings
Settings for rhythms button
Settings for rhythms button sets default settings for generating normal rhythms.
Settings for base rhythms button
Settings for base rhythms button sets default settings for generating base rhythms used by rhythm generator.
Preserve background
percussion
Preserve background percussion is useful when using full rhythm templates because it variates the groove, but keeps the
background percussion, such as hihat, intact. On the other hand for more creative results and e.g. breakbeat rhythms,
this could be disabled. This setting however makes no sense when generating base rhythms, because these essentially
contain only background percussion, so the generator would do nothing.
Keep the same
randomization seeds for each loop
Keep the same randomization seeds for each loop makes each loop generated with the same randomization seed, hence
resulting in same randomization results. This is usually desired when processing full rhythms, because since original
rhythms contained similar groove between multiple levels, it will be preserved. On the other hand, if you disable it, then
every level can contain different groove, which may be creatively abused, especially for styles such as breakbeat.
Merge quantization
Merge quantization defines to how long intervals are the loops cut. The shorter the intervals are, the more different
combinations can be generated, but the less natural the results may be.
Intros, breaks and
outros mode
Intros, breaks and outros mode controls the way the intros, breaks, long breaks and outros are generated.
Choose random set simply chooses random set of available loops, therefore the resulting loops are exactly the same as
original ones. You can use this for example to generate new rhythm from existing ones. First you need to generate
template using the button in the templates panel title. Then generate new rhythm using that template and this first mode.
Mingle mode takes all loops in each loopbox and mingles them into one the same way beats are processed. It is especially
