Luminome vs Tachyo

LUMINOME – RHYTHM YOU CAN SEE, FEEL, AND HEAR Luminome is more than a metronome – it’s a sensory musical experience. Designed with precision and minimalism, it transforms beats into both sound and light, creating a unique blend of timing, tone, and color. Simplicity meets rhythm and light. CORE FEATURES • High-precision metronome with rhythmic light pulses • Advanced Tap Tempo with real-time sync and adaptive accuracy • Subdivisions based on the overtone series • Minimalist design for distraction-free focus • Frequency-to-color mapping for a synesthetic experience • Cosmic Rhythm Mode for exploring rhythm across light and time TAP TEMPO: PRECISION AT YOUR FINGERTIPS At the heart of Luminome is a powerful and highly accurate Tap Tempo engine: • Uses a custom algorithm that learns and refines with each tap • Becomes more precise over time, adapting to your rhythm • The beat starts exactly in sync with your final tap – no delay, no drift This makes Luminome a natural extension of your internal tempo, perfect for live performance and intuitive beat control. SUBDIVISIONS BASED ON THE OVERTONE SERIES Create complex rhythmic patterns with intuitive subdivisions that: • Reflect the natural overtone series in pitch space • Allow you to hear and see harmonic relationships in time • Visualize and feel polyrhythms as layered pulses of light and tone This feature connects rhythm to musical acoustics, revealing hidden harmonic structures through timing. NEW: COSMIC RHYTHM MODE Explore rhythm beyond traditional boundaries: • Set tempo using astronomical units, like beats per day or beats per year • Input frequencies in nanometers to map beats to colors of light • Enable frequency doubling to align each beat with both musical pitch and visible spectrum hues Rhythm becomes a bridge between music, light, and cosmic cycles. COLOR MAPPING BASED ON “THE COSMIC OCTAVE” Luminome includes a unique frequency-to-color system inspired by “The Cosmic Octave” by Norbert Böhm and Hans Cousto (https://www.planetware.de). This model connects musical tones to natural frequencies, mapping them to colors for a rich visual and sonic experience. SYNC WITH ABLETON LINK Stay in perfect time with other apps and devices using Ableton Link: • Sync tempos in real time • Collaborate seamlessly across your music setup • Jam, perform, and explore while staying perfectly in sync EXPLORE THE SCIENCE OF RHYTHM AND PITCH Delve into frequency ratios, pitch perception, and the visible spectrum. Luminome transforms rhythm into a multisensory journey through time, tone, and color. HEALTH & SAFETY WARNING This app contains visual elements including flashing lights, which may trigger seizures in individuals with photosensitive epilepsy. Consult a healthcare professional before use if you have a history of epilepsy or sensitivity to flashing light. Play it. Feel it. See it. Sync it.
