Riddiments vs Lazy Lopez

Riddiments is a rhythm instrument for your pocket — a practice tool with the precision of a metronome and the expressiveness of a drum machine. Most metronomes give you one click. Riddiments gives you up to four independent rhythmic voices, each with its own time signature, sound, and feel — all locked to a single tempo. Different time signatures don't drift apart; they interlock into polyrhythm. It's the difference between counting along and actually hearing how the parts fit together. SEE THE BEAT, NOT JUST HEAR IT Four visualizations, one tap to switch between them: • Circular — a beat wheel with a playhead sweeping the ring. The signature view. • Waterfall — notes rise toward a NOW line, so you can read what's coming. • Timeline — every voice as gems on one lattice. Tap to edit, even while playing. • Notation — real single-line percussion notation with sticking letters, accents, flams, and drags. STICKINGS YOU CAN TRUST The built-in library covers the PAS International Drum Rudiments plus hybrid rudiments, rolls, grooves, and ostinato exercises — every sticking verified against published sources. Flams and drags play as true grace notes, on the correct hand. BUILD REAL TECHNIQUE • Practice mode: timed sessions, count-in, gap click, and automatic tempo progression to push your speed up gradually. • Tempo Lock, lead-hand flipping, and Alternate Lead each bar. • 18 built-in percussion voices — snare, kick, hi-hats, toms, claves, and more. • Per-lane swing, volume, and mute. Every control is live — changes land instantly, without stopping. MADE TO LIVE ON A STAND Every control works while you play. Tempo, transport, session time, and mute state stay readable from drumstick distance. Light and dark appearance. Save your own patterns, and your last session is always waiting when you reopen the app. Designed in the spirit of good tools: useful, honest, and quiet until you need it. Universal — one app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

A little room to strum. Find your chords, catch a melody, and spend some time with your ukulele, at your own pace. Lazy Lopez: Ukulele is a practice companion that stays out of your way. No streaks to keep, no goals to hit, no account to make. LEARN SONGS 1,052 songs are built in, chords ready, with nothing to download. Tell the library which chords you know and it shows what's ready to play tonight, and what's one or two chords away. Open any chord as a large diagram and hear it ring. Transpose a semitone at a time, simplify the awkward shapes, and get capo hints. Paste in a tab and a cursor follows the notes as they play back. Line songs up in setlists for jam night, and record yourself working one out. TUNE UP Standard high-G, low-G, baritone and D tunings, plus a library of your own: name a tuning and save as many as you have instruments. The tuner works out which string you're on and calls you in tune within ten cents. CHORDS, SCALES AND STRUMS Chords are grouped into eight families, so you pick the sound you want and then the root. 70 scales, every one built for gCEA, laid out across the neck, and you can build your own by tapping the notes you want. Six strumming patterns and four picking patterns count you in and speed up gradually. PLAY WITH A BAND Pick a key and a feel and drums, bass and keys lock in behind you, across nine grooves, from island to blues. Loop it, change it, record over the top. 41 chord progressions come in genre and mood packs, or build your own from the chords that live in your key. PRACTICE, YOUR WAY Three ready-made routines to start from, a metronome from 40 to 240 BPM, twelve backing loops, an ear trainer, and a fretboard note trainer. Run a session with a calm timer. THE WOODSHED Bring in an audio file, loop the bar that keeps beating you, and slow it to half speed without the pitch dropping with it. CAPTURE IDEAS Hum the melody before it floats off. The chords and key are worked out on your device and kept with the idea. IPHONE, IPAD, MAC AND WATCH One app for iPhone and iPad, plus a native Mac app. On iPhone there's also an Apple Watch app with a metronome, tuner and chord diagrams, a home-screen widget for the tuner, metronome and jam, and Live Activities that keep your tempo and timer on the Lock Screen.
