Good but quite basic

It’s ok, just quite basic, allowing just two parts. It would be greatly improved if you could have additional parts to explore more complex polymetric structures.

Thanks for the review. This app was written to give a simple introduction to 2-way polyrhythms. I did contemplate adding more voices which would allow you to explore polymetric structures, but it would add a lot of complexity to the app and would be of interest to a very small niche. My other app, PolyNome, allows you to create 3 way polyrhythms, or by utilising the sound lines under 2 rhythms you can create 4-way polymetric patterns. It also does much more than that. If you’re interested, feel free to contact me at joe@polynome.net and I can demonstrate. Best, Joe

Super app for polyrhythms

So much innovation packed into one app. Super tool to understand and master polyrhythms. I use different visualizations, isolate one rhythm against another, change sounds, and have so much fun using this app. Best way yet to crack polyrhythms.

Such a great simple way to visualise polyrhythms

I’d never really spent any time trying to learn polyrhythms until I tried this app, presuming it would be too difficult for me. Thanks to the way the app shows them and accompanies it with sounds made it super easy to tap along and start to understand how the rhythms relate to each other over time.

I’m now well on the way to being able to play some basic polyrhythms and I’m starting to feel how the patterns interact with each other intuitively. Such a great app!

Thanks for leaving a review. I’m so pleased this made it easy for you to learn polyrhythms. That was the whole point of making it. I just added a vertical display mode in the last update that makes it even easier to tap along to.

Practice game changer

I’ve spent so much time just incorporating four over three and eight over 3 into my vocabulary. Every polyrhythm can offer years of exploration. Although I think it’s very important to recognize that pilyrhythms are not linear, it’s a really good tool to start and be able to recognize how the rhythms fit together. Then once you are comfortable, focus on them being harmonic, which means imperfect, and both rhythms must constantly correct to be true. This is an excellent tool for taking on more complex polyrhythms. If I’ve lost you in the harmonic philosophy, I recommend looking up Efrain Toro and studying his teaching. This tool will allow you to effortlessly understand polyrhythms on a linear level. It’s up to you to take the next step. This app is another awesome masterpiece by this programmer..
