TUPLET TRAINER is based on a simple method for learning tuplets. The method is based on intuition and has been tested on and used by students for more than two decades now, and it has proved to be extremely effective. Once you master the method, you will easily perform ANY tuplet with full control thanks to a reference rhythm. You can operate the app either in Listen mode or Practice mode. In Listen mode you can listen to the reference rhythms transform into tuplets. In Practice mode you can set up different configurations for practicing. With one extra tap Info Mode gives you extensive information on all functions in the app. The Lessons section will guide you through the basics of the method. There is also a detailed manual as well as video tutorials and music demos available on the Internet, reachable from within the app. You can select from 28 tuplets in 4 time signatures, each with multiple motifs, all in all allowing thousands of combinations. Add a groove section (hi-hat and bass drum) to reinforce the feel of the time signature. Select different sounds and patterns for the metronome, grooves, and pads. AVAILABLE TUPLETS: 3/4 Time signature: 4 over 3, 5 over 3, 7 over 3, 8 over 3, 10 over 3, 11 over 3 4/4: 5 over 4, 7 over 4, 9 over 4, 10 over 4, 11 over 4, 13 over 4, 14 over 4, 15 over 4 5/4: 6 over 5, 7 over 5, 8 over 5, 9 over 5, 11 over 5, 12 over 5, 13 over 5, 14 over 5 7/4: 8 over 7, 9 over 7, 10 over 7, 11 over 7, 12 over 7, 13 over 7 Many established musicians have noticed the method for some time, and now also Tuplet Trainer. Here are excerpts from some statements (they can be read in full – together with other statements – on tupletmusic.com): ”… so simple, it defies intellectual reasoning, pertaining to rhythmic superimposition…with music it all comes down to hearing the results and applying them in real time performance. This app allows one to do that and truly interact  with the patterns. The results could immediately affect an artist’s rhythmic concepts towards more freedom and sophistication…” Dave Liebman, USA ”…If you are into music you realize that the cultural traditions are all coming together, the future is already happening as we speak, and Tuplet Trainer is one of the hippest things out there.” Sten Hostfalt, USA ”Straight into the subconscious – past the conscious… works as a magic key…” Helge Albin, Sweden ”So simple – almost too simple!…” Johannes Johansson, Sweden ”…the method makes all rhythmic impossibilities and unavailabilities possible and available to everybody. The technical and advanced obstacles that you overcome are not perceived as obstacles until you look back and realize what you’ve overcome…the method opened my eyes to a whole new world of polymetrics, odd time signatures and rhythmical freedom.” William Larsson, Denmark ”… After just minutes of studying, you have acquired your first keys to unlock doors to new polyrhythmic worlds … Truly trailblazing.” Jacob Karlzon, Sweden ”… It was hard to believe, or even to accept, that all the work developed by serious practitioners through the years could be solved in a ‘friendly’ way by intuition …” Dr. Marcelo Coelho, Brazil As a musician, composer, arranger, or teacher, you will gain easy access to new exciting rhythmic building blocks that have been very inaccessible before – and therefore almost non-existent in western music. Practicing tuplets with this method will not only expand your rhythmic vocabulary: some interesting side effects include a sharper sense of timing, re-phrasing, and subdivision. If you are a stranger to 5/4 and 7/4 (meters), practicing the reference rhythms/tuplets in those time signatures is an excellent way to get acquainted with them. Without a doubt you will open up doors to further rhythmic possibilities! ## Key features - Learn quintuplets, septuplets, and more - Intuitive and effective learning method - Listen and Practice modes - 28 tuplets across 4 time signatures - Customizable metronome and grooves - Video tutorials and detailed manual ## Recent user reviews (2 of 2) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tuplet-trainer/id993487078/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Remarkable results. *2020-07-16* This gem delivers on its promises. Takes your rhythm perception to a whole new level ### 4/5 — Very Effective Method for Learning Odd Ratios *2015-06-19* In this app, “Tuplets” are defined as an unusual number of “evenly spaced notes-per-measure”. The main concept of the app works well. With a polyrhythm (like 7 over 3), Instead of struggling to learning it “as is", the app shows you a “reference rhythm” which is an uneven, usually syncopated rhythm with the native subdivisions. You then are trained to smooth out that rhythm until you morph into the polyrhythm. Thus, this method provides a more musical and organic process for learning these rhythms. The concept is sound, but the app’s GUI is a little plain. If you are serious about more advanced rhythm training, and discovering a unique new skill, this is an effective method that can’t be replicated easily in other programs. I look forward to further refinements to the UI, and some new rhythms. ## Frequently asked questions about Tuplet Trainer ### What is Tuplet Trainer?
