Fork Code: Polyswing

code content

// Rhythm-Experiment for sambalike patterns. The goal are cyclic patterns with elliptical time behavior. 

// Masterclock is a LFSaw that's bent exponentially with the "swing"-argument.
// swing = 1 is linear. Zero and negative values lead to funny behavior.

// The masterclock is chopped with the "div"-argument in shorter parts for each instrument.
// If div=0 strange stuff happens when going back to other values.
// Negative values for "div" invert the envelopes for kick and snare.
// Behaves symmetrical around the offbeat. div=2 stays linear.

// The raw clock-signals control the instruments. More organic than classic triggers and envelopes, but strange sometimes. 

// Default volumes of instruments are high for saturation and distortion.
