PolyRhythm

PolyRhythm was developed for all professional musicians, regardless of  instrument, whether composing, performing or conducting!

Music	$0.99	Wolfram Winkel	iPhone, iPad, iPod

The app produces the most common rhythmic overlays (such as 5:3) using  two different clicks accompanied by a display of the score.

Available rhythmic overlays range from 3:2 to 13:4 on a systematic  basis with decadic BPM-steps for best study results. A regular metronome (also with decadic BPM-steps) is included.

All sounds are based on loops in order to achieve maximum accuracy. Please make sure that the Ring/Silent switch of your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad is in ring mode (otherwise there will be no sound).

"PolyRhythm, your precise metronome for complex rhythmic structures!" - Wolfram Winkel, author and co-developer, lecturer for rhythm and  percussion at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich

Good concept
alllllllright

Awesome concept here, only thing missing is being able to accent the 1 for each rhythm. When you’re listening to 9/4 it’s. A lot of beeps and having the 1 reset (on just one of them) will help make practicing easier

Was amazing... no longer works

Not compatible with recent updates to iPhone 7

I was hoping for more

If you are looking for a audio click track, here it is. I wish there was an options of blinking lights or visual cues of which note is playing, or a vibration feedback. Without a headphone jack on my phone, this app is useless, if I am in a public place and want to practice or keep time. I need a pulse I can feel

A mainstay of modern civilization

When you think about relationships between time and numbers, this app delivers pure wisdom of the ages: how does it sound? You, as the listener, are encouraged to tune in to the most profound, fundamental rhythmic figures. I would encourage everyone to meditate with this app, practice with this app, and use it as a starting off point to exploring new rhythms. Rhythms that are incredibly simple, yet profound.

Brilliant! Finally!

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, I've 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!

Yay!!!

Great tool for practicing. Having spent many painstaking nights working out polyrhythms on paper, it's 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! I'll be sure to tell all of my rhythm-nerd friends about this app. I know there's a lot of interest in an app for polyrythms. Yay, polyrhythms!!

buy it!

a must have for any musician who wants to improve their advanced rhythm chops! works 100%...

Awesome app

The best .99 cents I've 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...

Could be much more helpful

Unless I'm missing something: you can't 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 it's not useful enough.
