Euclidean rhythm generator #5645

Euclidean music patterns midi generators to fill the midi space by few clicks with euclidean patterns.

I can describe in deep detail, if it's going to happen, so you can just listen to mathematics...

Hmm, there was midi sequencers and arpeggiators, both LMMS internals or as external plugins. Also give me example of software with "euclidean music patterns midi generators".

Would creating a feature similar to the chord feature in Piano Roll be a viable option? There could be a drop down to select however many notes you would want within a bar (maybe for now just have a maximum of 16 notes), and then it will automatically place that number of notes equally. I have just started trying to learn how to work with lmms, but I would love to try this. I'm looking through the code in PianoRoll.cpp, and it looks like I could simply copy a lot of code from what creates the chord section.

It fits better to sequencer, arpeggiator at least.

It would be nice for both, but I could see it being useful in the piano roll too. When I used LMMS, I always used the piano roll for drums anyway, but drums aren't the only thing with rhythm!
