Meridian
Meridian’s intuitive design lets you manage four independent tracks within a single device, each with its own clock, sequence length, and note logic. With added features such as preset storage, Push integration, and note/velocity randomisers, Meridian goes far beyond typical step sequencing.

Generative Euclidean MIDI Sequencer for Ableton Live
1. Four Independent Tracks
-
Each track includes controls for:
-
Note duration
-
Step length
-
Number of events (notes)
-
Pattern rotation
-
Note randomisation
-
-
Retrigger button per track for injecting stutters, fills, and live rhythmic changes.
2. Authentic Polyrhythm Generation
-
Each track runs on its own independent clock.
-
Supports patterns of different lengths (e.g., 5-step vs. 16-step) without forced alignment.
-
Enables natural rhythmic interplay where sequences loop independently.
-
Unlike Live 12’s native Euclidean device, Meridian patterns do not sync to clip length but loop as soon as they finish.
3. Jam Mode (Pattern Evolution)
-
Automates the evolution of sequence settings over time.
-
User-defined change rates: 1/4 note, 1/2 note, 1 bar, etc.
-
Encourages non-repetitive generative rhythm building.
4. Note Jam Mode (Pitch Evolution)
-
Randomises note values within a set range.
-
Define low and high note limits per track.
-
Pitch changes occur at chosen time intervals: 1/4 note, 1/2 note, bar, etc.
5. Per-Track Velocity Randomisation
-
Humanises MIDI output by randomising note velocities.
-
Adds variation and realism to machine-generated patterns.
6. Preset Storage Panel
-
Save and recall up to 32 patterns.
-
Ideal for saving favourite grooves or managing multiple sequences in a live set.
7. Global Controls
-
Set a global subdivision affecting all four tracks.
-
Two powerful global randomise buttons:
-
Randomise all sequence parameters.
-
Randomise all generative settings.
-
8. Push Integration
-
Features nine banks of Push mappings.
-
Allows full control of the device without needing a laptop.
1. Polyrhythmic Composition
-
Easily create interlocking rhythmic layers that evolve naturally.
-
Perfect for complex drum patterns, ambient textures, or modular-style sequencing.
2. Live Performance
-
Switch between stored patterns using the preset matrix.
-
Use Retrigger and Jam modes for improvisation.
-
Perform entire sets with just Meridian and a controller.
3. Generative Music Creation
-
Let sequences evolve in unexpected but musical ways.
-
Use Note Jam and Jam Mode to keep ideas flowing.
