PolyRhythm app good for
Great tool to figure out 2 PolyRhythms with these 2 nice birds (add 1 for the next step ?)
Very simple but useful! Helps hearing the "little song" of most PolyRhythms used. Thanks!
If you are into African PolyRhythms and contemporary music, or are a musician who needs to learn modern rhythms (as found in many new scores) - this is the app for you! Its simple, straight forward and yet very effective. Rather then programming these rhythms in a sequencer you have them in your hand. Immediately. And just by hearing you learn and understand them much faster and deeper...
Just buy it. At 0.79 Euros its a nobrainer!
(...muss ich das noch ins Deutsche übersetzen ?)
Very cool, but I would love to see some 5 based PolyRhythms such as 4:5 in a future update.
Just playing some if the rhythms such as 13:4, etc., I can see it will be tremendously helpful working out ratios. But an interface where the user can add multiple layers, e.g. 9:4:3 would make this a perfect complex rhythm app.
If you want to learn about PolyRhythms then this is a simple and easy way to learn
Some bad moments
...so I bought it. But it does not work. You can choose a PolyRhythm, and a tempo - except you then cannot start an actual metronome, no start button, no clicks. Great.
Ever since I read an article about some kind of old metronome that Dennis Chambers knew of that would pit two subdivisions against each other, Ive always wanted to have a way to hear PolyRhythms so that I could simply learn them as a rhythm rather than some abstraction. Could have done it in Finale, but now have it in my iPhone. Gonna make some of my new projects easier to learn and more fun to perform! Thanks! Great app!
Great tool for practicing. Having spent many painstaking nights working out PolyRhythms on paper, its nice to have a convenient PolyRhythm resource... in my pocket!
The sleak layout is good, but if you are planning on getting more complex, it might be interesting to have independent sliders to control the various beats. Would also be great to have the ability to control the volume of the different beats to bring one to the fore, then the other.
With 2 rhythm sliders, one could have even more possibilities!... not just beats over 2, 3 and 4.... but on and on!! 13:12!!! 17:9. Super, rhythm-geek fun!
Thanks for this app. I wish I had the time (and tech know-how) to design something like this myself. I hope you consider these updates; will help make your app even better!
Ill be sure to tell all of my rhythm-nerd friends about this app. I know theres a lot of interest in an app for polyrythms. Yay, PolyRhythms!!
a must have for any musician who wants to improve their advanced rhythm chops! works 100%...
The best .99 cents Ive ever spent! I love this and have been blogging about cool it. You nail your basic PolyRhythms to the wall with this thing and embed the basics to where they become second nature. Buy this and go where Zappa played...
Unless Im missing something: you cant turn off one of the rhythms. And I wish the sounds were not so similar or I wish u could choose the 2 sounds or even set the volume of each sound.
I wish there was a setting for just beat one and then you could go back and forth between the rhythms and really hear them.
For me its not useful enough.
