Rhythmicon is out: a polyrhythmic sequencer with true undertones (VCV Rack 2)
I posted a preview of Rhythmicon here a while ago. It's now available.
It goes back to the Rhythmicon that Henry Cowell and Léon Theremin built in 1931, and to the idea behind Moog's Subharmonicon: four rhythms divide one clock (÷1 to ÷16), and two 4-step sequencers move on whenever one of their rhythms hits. The patterns drift against each other until they meet again on the one. The display shows the lanes, where rhythms coincide and how many bars until the cycle closes.
Each sequencer sends its note plus two undertones (pitch ÷2 to ÷16) as V/OCT, not rounded to the scale, and a POLY output with the whole chord on one cable. Patch POLY into Shapes and every step plays as a chord.
Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows and Linux. It's a paid module (€15) sold directly from our site, not through the VCV Library. Link in the comments.
Happy to answer questions, and I'd love to hear what you patch with it.
