Expanding Euclid: The addition of Euclidian Rhythms controlling MIDI on/off data

After focusing on getting the technical side of the project working, I spent some time doing some studio performances, as well as a live show. One issue I was having with how the music sounded, was that the notes were relentless. I could already choose what speed to have the notes produced (1/4, 1/8 etc.), but there would always be 16 notes in a phrase. It caused the music to sound annoying at times and it felt rather claustrophobic.

For a while I have had an idea of using the Euclidian Rhythm device to set the rhythms of melodic content, not just the percussion. After a quick bit of patching, I realised I should have done this a lot sooner - it was very effective.
