Euclidian Rhythm calculator

Hey,

So for a University project, I am trying to make a basic patch that will use Euclid's algorithm to generate traditional drum beats.
Information on this can be found here http://cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/~godfried/publications/banff.pdf
I understand the distribution process, and can do it on pen and paper.
I was just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of max objects that will successfully deal with these instructions...
It seems like a fairly simple function needed, that can first input x number of 1's, and then append the message with 0's in certain places.

If anyone could shed some light here that'd be so useful,

Thanks,

Calum
