I enjoy the Figure App and was wondering if there was a way to get this kind of functionality within Reason - specifically the way that holding down a note creates repeats in different rhythms depending how you set it. The repeats are not always straight like a metronome - they vary in velocity and location on grid as wonderfully programmed by whoever made this App. The pattern only plays when you are holding down the note and is retriggered on hitting another note and stops playing when you are aren't holding down any note.

Any thoughts on how I can do something like this within Reason would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This one fits the bill nicely for the rhythmic part at least (I'm pretty sure that Figure also used euclidean rhythms):

Thank you for all the reponses. I am trying out Euclidian Rhythms by Robotic Bean and quite like it. This gets me closer but not quite there. I think the Figure patterns vary the note durations within the patterns - I guess doing this makes Figure not purely euclidian. With the Robotic Bean player you can adjust the durations but only globally it seems.
