Inspired by Bull of Heaven's lcm pieces, i decided to apply the concept on patterns instead of notes and it turned out pretty cool

One of the originals for comparison: https://youtu.be/GvgZwJx8Eys?si=AqeF7LIif8nxK3ml

Instead of sound intervals, i made it so each number corresponds to the amount of patterns each channel has. So channel 1 has 2 patterns, channel 2 has 3 patterns, channel 3 has 5 patterns and so on. All channels then start at their first pattern and keep looping sequentially until all channels synchronize again after many many patterns (which didn't even fit a single song on Furnace)

This one is the first 255 patterns of what an lcm(2,3,5,7,11,13,17) would be, and if i understood the math shenanigans right, the least common multiple of 2,3,5,7,11,13,17 (which are all prime numbers) determines how many patterns it takes for all channels to synchronize again. For example, lcm(2,3) would take 6 patterns, and on the 7th both channel 1 and 2 would be at their first pattern again.
