All sequencing done with Roulette

Reaching beyond the customary utility of a step sequencer, Roulette becomes a powerful & intuitive compositional tool, where quick experimentation can lead to inspiring happy accidents within any musical context.

Poly/Asymmetric

The Roulette sequencer is both polymetric and asymmetric, meaning the rhythm and pitch data is entirely separate and can run at different lengths for evolving patterns.

Algorithmic

Each section of Roulette can be easily programmed to behave independently. The outcome you hear is the relationship of all the individual sections continually relating to one another. With Roulette you design dynamic sequencing environments, not rigid repetitions.

Seemingly Endless

The Algorithmic and Asymmetric qualities of Roulette result in cascading, seemingly endless sequences.
