Creating rythms in Grasshopper

Hi Everyone,

I would like to make a recursive pattern that create a rythm.

Using a random number generator, within 0 and 1 and a timer, i got a pseudo rythm, that oscillates between 1 and 0. That 's ok but impossible to create a pattern with this.

I tried, then to use Mass Addition, to add and subtract numbers with different/asynchronous timers. But it is not really efficient as when it gets to be simultaneous, it's like nothing was happening.

Also, to understand better the question, If i tap once on the table with my hand, what i hear cannot be translate into : 1, but into 0 1 0. As there was a silence before the tap, and after it and this is why i actually notice the tapping.

Does anybody ever worked on this questions?

Thank you

What's your end goal for this? It's a little confusing. I would use a random number gen with domain set to 0-10 a modulus operation of 2 and have it spit out a list of true, false (0, 1)'s to make 0,1... patterns, if that is your intention, which I can show you if you need. Otherwise...

Maybe check out Max MSP it has a very similar interface to grasshopper and is geared more for music and "beats"? maybe?
