Rhythm Engine is a stochastic rhythm generator designed by  Ableton Certified Trainer Noah Pred to produce evolving yet tightly controlled grooves. Each note event is generated through probabilistic switching between user-defined rhythmic multipliers and divisors, creating ever-shifting yet coherent timing variations. Global swing and humanization features add dynamic feel, while pitch and velocity deviation introduce controlled variation for more organic motion.

The device supports melodic use through an arp mode with full scale and key awareness. Playable parameters like octave transposition, sustain, and gate or side input modes enable responsive, performance-driven interaction. Random Pattern mode offers cyclic rhythmic playback, while Drums mode provides instant chromatic mapping for percussion workflows.


KEY FEATURES

  • Probabilistic rhythm generation with real-time rate variation
  • Pitch and velocity deviation for expressive rhythmic articulation
  • Arp mode for melodic pattern generation
  • Drums mode for chromatic percussive sequencing
  • Random pattern mode for cyclical rhythmic playback
  • Humanization for micro-timing variation
  • Instant octave transposition and sustain performance control
  • Scale and key awareness with Global Hub integration




Ideal for producers seeking fluid, generative rhythm within structured control, Rhythm Engine delivers infinite rhythmic motion without losing musical focus. Optimized for Push with full automation labels and Info View annotation, Rhythm Engine is ready for high-level play straight away. Experiment, have fun, and capture results to new MIDI or Audio Clips by recording them to other tracks in Live.
