What Are Euclidean Rhythms?  
Euclidean rhythms use ancient mathematical principles to evenly distribute rhythmic events across steps. This can create syncopated beats that are perfect for any genre, from cinematic scores to electronic dance music (EDM) and world musics. By combining this rhythmic tool with Wurlygig's multi-band polyrhythm and polymeter capabilities, you can craft evolving musical textures with ease.

Euclidean rhythms are effective, especially when the total number of events is relatively prime to the number of steps – this guarantees syncopated rhythm.

What is Polymeter?
Polymeter is a rhythm system where different cycles align at a common starting point but have different durations. Each cycle synchronizes with the master cycle based on step duration and step total. Polymeter is the most effective ‘polybeat’ type for musical outcomes especially when used with pitch information to generate harmony. 

What is Polyrhythm?
Polyrhythms are multiple concurrent rhythms that occur within a given cycle duration.
Each polyrhythmic cycle synchronizes with the master cycle based on cycle duration values.

Designed for Everyone  
Whether you’re a film composer seeking innovation, a hip-hop artist crafting the next big beat, or someone exploring music for the first time, Wurlygig is your gateway to new musical dimensions.
