The Digitakt II Euclidean mode uses two independent pulse generators with Boolean logic

Euclidean mode (accessed via [FUNC]+[AMP]) replaces the manual trig grid with two pulse generators (PL1, PL2) that distribute trigs as evenly as possible across the track length. What sets it apart from a simple Euclidean rhythm implementation: a Boolean operator (OP) combines or subtracts the two generators’ output using OR (all trigs from both), XOR (trigs from both unless on the same step), AND (only coincident trigs), or SUB (PL1 minus PL2’s positions). Each generator can be independently rotated (R01, R02), and there is also a global Track Rotation (TRO). When Euclidean mode is on, previously placed manual trigs are hidden but not deleted — switching off restores them. Parameter locking remains available on generated trigs. Converting an Euclidean sequence to regular trigs: hold [FUNC] while turning Euclidean mode off.

Examples

PL1=3, PL2=2, length=8, OP=XOR: PL1 gives x..x..x., PL2 gives x…x…, XOR removes the shared step 1 hit, producing .x.x..x. — a displaced, complex groove. Rotate TRO by 2 to start on beat 3.

Assessment

What does AND operator produce if PL1=5 and PL2=3 over 16 steps? When would SUB be musically useful?
