Tups is a rhythm laboratory with four modules — a discovery space for musicians who want to go deeper into rhythm. Where one small idea unfolds into hundreds of possibilities. ▶ TUPS — Every subdivision from 2 to 12 Every tuplet from 2 to 12 in a single interface. Tap any note to mute or activate, and see every possibility inside one beat — the fastest way into 5s, 7s and 11s. Open Possibilities mode to see every syncopation variation of a tuplet, then build your own phrases with two sequencers: Arrange (drag-and-drop variations) or Compose (tap notes one by one). ▶ A&R+ — Sticking practice, reimagined An interactive sticking workspace. Write your own melody by placing accents on tuplet notes, then hear how it changes when you apply different stickings. Start from built-in jazz standard presets or write your own. Shadow and Mirror modes turn one simple sticking into dozens of variations — endless phrasings from a single idea. ▶ PATTERN — Familiar motifs, infinite possibilities Take a small idea. Play it in any tuplet. Start it anywhere, end it anywhere. Feel how the same phrase lives in 5/8, 7/8, a triplet, a quintuplet. - Drummer Mode — R / L / K / H notation for any sticking - Melodic Mode — 39 scales at your fingertips, with a Melodic Visualizer that shows your pattern on a real piano or guitar - Dual Scale — hear how the same pattern sounds across two different scales, two different keys or modes A freedom tool for pianists, guitarists, saxophonists — and for composers stuck in their own phrases. ▶ TUP LAB — Polyrhythms and grooves A four-channel drum machine. Each channel runs its own tuplet, its own sound and its own pattern — all locked to one master tempo. Build 7 against 4. Build 5:3:7. Hear a polyrhythm come together one channel at a time. Polyrhythm Mode — a focused space to make polyrhythms easier to grasp, in three ways: - Clock — the polyrhythm laid out like a clock face, each channel circling at its own ratio - Orbit — same idea, different metaphor — each channel a planet, faster tuplets orbit faster - Pitch — push the polyrhythm fast enough and rhythm crosses into pitch. The same ratio becomes a chord. 43 chord presets built on polyrhythm ratios Per-channel swing (50–66%) on 2-tuplet patterns — for jazz, blues, shuffle and funk. ▶ THE METRONOME Native audio engine accurate to ±20 microseconds, 500× tighter than the human ear — zero drift to 500 BPM. Pendulum and orbit visuals, Tap Tempo, and a wide library of click sounds. Silent Practice — mute the metronome at bar or beat level, pattern-based or random, to build your inner clock. Save unlimited presets for the metronome and for Silent Practice.
