Quantize vs Loop Length #16

Open wraybowling opened 4 years ago

wraybowling commented 4 years ago

A quantized beat is also a less lengthy one. Perhaps Quantize and loop length can live on the same knob as opposites by somehow organizing the selection of beats in the grid creatively. Something like a bayer dithering pattern comes to mind..

A Bayer dithering pattern would place beats like so 

1-------
1---2---
1-3-2-4-
15362748

but to quantize effectively, it's much easier to iterate sequentially

12345678

because detecting a beat is a comparison of all the slots within a range. I'll need to think about this more.

Also, writing 1–8 was easy as a thought experiment, but there are actually 24 slots for every quarter note so the divisions would not be as simple as a bayer pattern because 24 is not a a 2^n number.
