Hello fellow Wigglers, a project that I have been developing for the past few years FLUX is launching on Kickstarter in the next couple of days and I thought I would share some info with the community:
Flux is a Temporal Modulation Synthesis Complex Rhythm Sequencer for Eurorack.
Temporal Modulation Synthesis applies a curvature to time, creating rhythms by modulating the linearity of trigger distribution within a step (each step can output a density of between 1-64 triggers). Trigger distribution can be modulated with a choice of 15 TM curves, the curvature of which ranges from -10 to +10 in 0.01 increments (2000 possible curvatures). Positive curvature values produce logarithmic responses, negative values produce exponential responses and a curvature of 0 results in linear spacing. 16 TM steps can be sequenced per channel, each with unique length, density, curve and curvature parameters. FLUX uses 64-bit double-precision floating point math internally to calculate rhythms with an extremely high degree of precision.
True Euclidean rhythms, polyrhythms & complex rhythmic patterns are extremely easy to generate and wide ranging in scope.

Here are some examples demonstrating rhythms with low density steps & linear spacing between triggers,
the first example demonstrates the humanize algorithm at 25%:
These rhythms demonstrate high density steps & linear spacing between triggers:
Finally, here are some examples of rhythms using various curvature combinations:
