This way of generating rhythms has brought lots of fun times to many users of modular synths - and would be a great addition to the NDLR.
For Eucliean rhythms, you specify a note-value, a number of steps n, a number of triggers m<n, a "rotation" value r<(n-1) which determines the starting point in the generated rhythm and optionally a rest-probability. The algorithm then distributes the triggers among the steps according to the euclidean division algorithm and rotates by the given number of steps.
By modulating the number of trigs, the rotation value and even the number of steps, very interesting rhythms can be generated.
This would also be the cherry on top of the stochastic features proposed in my other recent feature-request.
