Loop/Cycle is a modular loop and rhythmic cycle builder for drummers or any musician ready for advanced rhythmic practice. Turn any combination of time signatures into a meditative, minimalist loop for deep flow-state practice and true mastery of complex rhythms. Two Modes of Creation In Loop mode, stack blocks numbered 1 through 7 to build a repeating sequence. Piano, marimba, and bass weave together automatically, generating fresh melodic patterns with every combination. In Cycle mode, assign blocks independently to each instrument. A 4-block piano against a 5-block bass creates a 20-beat polyrhythmic cycle — the kind of interlocking pattern found in West African drumming and minimalist composition. Features Build loops and polyrhythmic cycles from simple numbered blocks Three sampled instruments: piano, marimba, and bass Adjustable BPM from 40 to 220 Independent volume controls for each instrument and metronome click Real-time block highlighting synced to playback Dark interface designed for focused music-making No account required. No ads. No additional purchases. No internet needed after download. Whether you are exploring odd meters, practicing polyrhythms, or just curious about tapping into the flow state, start tapping blocks and listen.
