"This module introduces a unique approach to rhythm, it can add complexity to any pattern by superimposing extremely odd divisions creating syncopation and rhythmic complexity. It provides extensive possibilities for rhythmic creation, transforming static rhythmic patterns into dynamic and complex rhythmic layering enhancing the rhythmic foundation set by the primary clock. It allows users to explore and generate rhythms in previously unattainable ways.

The module operates by taking an input clock signal and generating two new independent outputs that dynamically accelerates or decelerates the BPM toward a user-defined destination BPM over a specified number of beats. Meaning that the output generation is never constant, they will always be dynamically accelerating or decelerating, where no interval between two pulses is the same, the current interval will always be shorter or longer than the previous interval.

This principle will generate unique metrics that when played against the main clock will create extremely unique patterns, from simple swing /syncopation to beyond free-jazz completely unexpected while mathematically justified metrics.
