I've been experimenting with rhythms like Euclideans but using oscillators in Pure Data. One main oscillator for BPM, and then up to 5 oscillators with frequencies set ratios of the main oscillator. Adjust the amplitudes and phases of the oscillators, add them all together and stike a beat at the zero crossings. This makes for a very interesting way to play stuff morphing between rhythms.

Recently, I've has some success at working out ways to derive some of the Euclidean rhythms by solving for the zero crossings, so now I'm pretty sure that this continuous rhythm synthesis is also capable of all the Euclidean variations.
