## What is Handpan Rhythms?

Using this app you can write your own Handpan rhythm with simple notations and hear how it sounds like with a virtual Handpan!
The app also includes a set of popular rhythms as examples. You can also play the rhythm along with the clap sound as a metronome for practicing the tempo.
The writing system is based on the names of the Handpan strokes with a precise timing. The user sets the number of beats in the rhythm. Each beat is shown with a box. The time duration of each beat is specified by BPM. This time duration is divided equally between all the notes written in the beat box.
Also, you can play a virtual Handpan in the app, if you have no access to a real one.
The premium version enables the custom scale, rhythm save, export, and import features. It also removes all ads from the app. The in-app purchase for accessing the premium version is a single-time payment which never expires.

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2026-01-28, version 1.1.2*

I’m new to playing the hand pan so this allows me to play around even when I’m not with my hand pan. Love the app!

### 5/5 — wow

*2024-12-07, version 1.1.1*

perfect

### 4/5 — Un bon outil

*2024-05-08*

Cette application possède de belles qualités pour bosser et écrire des patterns au handpan. La saisie de notes est très facile, l’écriture rythmique et des mesures est bien pensées, le tempo est modifiable, la lecture est précise, le son est correct. Bravo, c’est une belle initiative.
Pour il manque la possibilité de configurer la tonalité, la gamme et le nombre de notes de son handpan et le fait de pouvoir saisir plusieurs notes en même temps (accords). Si on arrive à avoir ça alors on aura un sérieux outil pour développer l’écriture de pattern au handpan.

### 3/5 — Some more features required!

*2023-09-19*

In general this is a very nice app and I like it!
What I‘m missing is, for example, the possibility to play 2 or more notes at the same time (double stop). Also being able to edit the beats and to choice different scales (Kurd, Celtic, etc.) would be nice.
