Beats per cycleOne lap of every rhythm. At 4, a rhythm of 4 lands on each beat.

Accent the first beatLouder hit when every rhythm lines up.

Visual syncNudge the dots if they drift from the sound, for example on Bluetooth.

Tune to a chordSets each rhythm to a chord tone, so the shared first beat rings as one chord. You can still change any pitch after.

Visual styleShapes draws each rhythm as a polygon. Numbers draws each rhythm as its digit. Every hit gets a point on the digit, and the dot hops from point to point.

Show the measureThe sheet music one cycle fills, with a progress bar. Each rhythm gets a line of its own, and odd divisions are bracketed as tuplets.

Theme

Beat pulse

Optional. Adds a steady click on every beat of the cycle, like the counting behind a time signature. Your rhythms then play against it.

Think of one cycle as one bar. Each click is a beat, and the grouping decides which beats get an accent, the way 7/8 can be counted 2+2+3 or 3+2+2. Your rhythms don't change. You're choosing the meter they play against. If you know time signatures: beats per cycle is the top number and the grouping is how you count it. There's no bottom number because BPM already sets how fast each beat goes.

Grouping

How it lines up

Big dots on the pulse row are accented beats. The dots on each rhythm's row show where its hits fall in the bar. A hit exactly under a pulse dot lands on that click, and anything between two beats is a cross-rhythm.
