And with the latest update to version 3.1, Patterning now also runs on macOS, bringing circular beats to the desktop for the first time. When Patterning launched in 2015, it introduced a fresh take on the drum machine with its intuitive circular interface and a new approach to generating rhythms.

In Patterning 3, Olympia Noise Co. continues to innovate with exciting new features such as parametric swing, fill patterns, parameter modulation, an FX track, multiple timelines, and more. Patterning 3 also adds support for AUv3, allowing it to run as a plugin inside a host application. Here’s some of what’s new in Patterning 3: ▶ AUv3
 Patterning 3 now operates as an AUv3 plugin, integrating into AUv3 hosts like Ableton Live, Logic, AUM, and more. Multi-channel output and MIDI are available in supported hosts. ▶ macOS
 Run Patterning 3 as a standalone app or AUv3 plugin on Apple Silicon. ▶ Parametric Swing
 Parametric Swing is a novel approach to musical swing that allows for the creation of beats with a unique feel—from slightly off-kilter to wildly erratic, drunken grooves. ▶ Fill Patterns 
Quickly switch to a "fill" version of your patterns, perfect for adding dramatic flair or transitioning between song sections. ▶ Modulation
 Apply LFOs, randomization, and velocity to most parameters, crafting beats that pulse, evolve, and react in complex ways. Simply hold the ALT button to assign modulation to your tracks. ▶ FX Track 
Dive deeper into sound design with the new FX Track. This dedicated track allows for the automation and modulation of FX parameters, enabling detailed sound sculpting. Manipulate effects over time to add movement, texture, and depth to your beats. ▶ Multiple Timelines
 Create full songs, loop sections, and more with the updated timeline editor. ▶ New Effects
 Patterning 3 includes new effects: track saturation and ring modulation, a master compressor, and expanded delay and EQ controls. ▶ Audio, MIDI, and Ableton Live Set Export
 Export perfect multichannel and stereo loops, MIDI files, and even complete Ableton Live Sets. Drag and drop MIDI from Patterning directly into your DAW. ▶ Quantize and Nudge
Record in beats and keep your groove with the nudge layer, or adjust quantization to bring them closer to the grid. ▶ Fast Automation Layers
 Touch a parameter to view and edit its automation layer on the circle.
