Methods

`Static`euclidean

euclidean(pulses: number, steps: number): boolean[]
Calculates the Euclidean rhythm (distributing k pulses as evenly as possible over n steps). Popular in African, Latin, and electronic music (e.g., E(3,8) is the Tresillo).
Parameters
- pulses: number
- steps: number
Returns boolean[]
- Defined in rhythm.ts:127

`Static`generate

generate(voices: number[], totalDuration?: number): number[][]
Generates a polyrhythm between multiple voices.
Parameters
- voices: number[]
  Array of pulse counts (e.g., [3, 4] for 3-against-4)
- totalDuration: number = 1
  The total duration of the cycle in whole notes (default 1)
Returns number[][]
An array of voices, each containing an array of timestamps (fractions of totalDuration) where pulses occur.
