Poly-Metronome: Polyrhythmic Coherence Engine and Visualizer

Master complex rhythms with this free, interactive Poly-Rhythmic Metronome. Poly-Metronome is a professional practice tool designed for drummers, pianists, composers, and music students. Unlike standard metronomes, this app lets you overlay multiple rhythmic cycles simultaneously, helping you visualize and hear how different measures intersect.

Main features:

Visual polyrhythms: Observe how ratios such as 3:4, 5:4, or 7:11 interact through clear geometric visualizations.

Multi-track control: Customize up to three independent rhythm axes (left, right and third axis).

Customizable sounds: Choose from wood, metal, click or maraca sounds for each track and train your ear.

Pitch control: Adjust the frequency (Hz) of each click to easily distinguish between rhythms.

Compatible with mobile devices and computers: Fully adaptable design that works on any device, perfect for the practice room or studio.

How to use:

Set your BPM: Use the master tempo slider to adjust the tempo speed.

Choose your ratios: Define the number of pulses for the left and right axes (for example, set the left to 3 and the right to 2 for a standard 3:2 polyrhythm).

Customize: Adjust the volume, mute specific tracks, or change the sound type according to your preferences.

Add complexity: Activate the "Third axis" to practice advanced trinary rhythms.

Press "Play": Listen to the "1" where all the pulses align and begin your practice.

Who is this for?

Drummers who practice limb independence and syncopation.

Music theory students studying complex time signatures and proportions.
