Hi, I found this article about rhythms.  
I found it interesting.  
I leave a link in case anyone is interested.

> Euclidean what?! Over the last couple of years Euclidean rhythms became relatively popular in (electronic) music creation and production. Essentially they are a way of spacing out events (or pulses) across positions (or steps or time intervals)...

Greetings to all.

That is a nice overview. Toussaint’s papers can also be found if one wants to dig deep.

Sonic Pi also has euclidean rhythms implemented as **spread** function.

I have also implemented separate [syntax for euclidean rhythms](https://github.com/amiika/ziffers/wiki/Rhythm#euclidean-rhythm) that makes it easier to make all kinds of rhyrhmic or melodic sequencer.

Also made a [list of all possible euclidean cycles](https://github.com/amiika/ziffers/wiki/Euclidean) from 2 to 32 that is perhaps useful also with the standard spread method.
