Poly's Perfect!

...after using for just 5 minutes, this simple and easy to use app. has just replaced my other devices...all of which h̸a̸v̸e̸ had aspects of what 'Polly' is capable of doing~but, a̸r̸e̸ were not integrated in the way i need for my specific needs; practicing the orchestration of 4 way independent polymetric/polyrhythmic rhythms applied to the drum set; the focus of my drumming and teaching journey. after the basic install, without adjusting any of the sounds and parameters, i am now able to clearly hear 𝒂𝒏𝒅 isolate the distinct cross rhythm's in a way i've not experienced with other apps...i haven't even begun to explore the midi capability's ~ the possibilities are vast! thanx to the Peeps' @ 591 for this brilliant 𝒂𝒏𝒅 super affordable tool!

Polly is a lot of fun

Polly is a really neat app to explore rhythms. My favorite feature is hidden in the preferences: Shake to randomize. I like randomizing to start a new exploration and then making adjustments.
