Functions

func Rhythm

func Rhythm(accents, totalSteps int) []bool

Rhythm returns a rhythmical pattern of equally distributed accents throughout the total steps. The Euclidean rhythms are explained in this white paper: http://cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/~godfried/publications/banff.pdf The total steps are the steps in a grid (or a circle) and the accents is the number of those steps you want to be triggered. The algorithm will position the accents (aka pulses) equally distributed across the available steps.
