Beat Blocks is an interactive rhythm practice app built for players at every level. See the beat, build your own patterns, play along, and strengthen your timing with multiple ways to visualize rhythm. 4 Unique Visualization Modes: - Beat Blocks Mode: The signature dot-grid view. Notes and rests become clear geometric blocks, making rhythm structure easy to see and feel. - Circles Mode: Each beat becomes a colorful circle divided into slices for its subdivisions, then lights up in time as the rhythm plays. - Staff Mode: Practice with standard musical notation and connect your rhythm training to real-world sight-reading. - Jianpu (Numbered) Mode: A clean numbered-notation view for players who prefer Jianpu. Key Features: - Custom Rhythm Editor: Build and save your own rhythms in 4/4, 3/4, and 6/8. Create eighth-note patterns, triplets, dotted rhythms, syncopations, rests, and multi-measure exercises. - Expanded 6/8 Practice: Explore a dedicated set of 6/8 rhythm patterns designed for compound-meter training. - Course & Starter Library: Practice with ready-made rhythm groups, from basic pulse control to more advanced subdivision and syncopation. - Loop & Tap-Along: Loop any rhythm to internalize it, or test your timing with tap-along scoring and per-beat feedback. - Professional Metronome: Use high-quality sounds, count-in, tempo control, visual pulse, and flexible loop playback to keep practice precise. - Share & Import: Export custom rhythms as text and import rhythms created in Beat Blocks, including existing 4/4 exercises from earlier versions. - One-Time Unlock: Start with free practice content, then unlock full course and custom-rhythm playback with a one-time purchase. No subscription. No ads. Whether you are building a steady foundation or practicing complex meters, Beat Blocks turns rhythm training into a visual, creative, hands-on experience. See it. Build it. Feel it. Master the beat.
