About this app

Arabic rhythms in the palm of your hand.

Arab Rhythms Composer is a highly functional rhythm creation and training app for darbuka (tabla) and riqi percussionists, belly dancers, and anyone who loves Arabic music.

Easily visualize, create, and play complex Arabic rhythms (iqa'at) using the intuitive circular interface. Experience the subtle grooves and ornaments that traditional rhythm machines lack.

✨ [Featured Feature] Sequence Mode (Song Creation/Continuous Playback)
You can now combine multiple different rhythms and play them continuously as a single song!
• Individually set the loop count and BPM for each rhythm.
• Seamless transitions between rhythms. • Extremely powerful for creating belly dance choreography medleys and practicing practical songs with dynamic developments.

🥁 Key Features
1. Intuitive Rhythm Editor
No need to read music! Simply tap the desired location on the circular interface to build a rhythm.
• High-Quality Sound: Includes realistic sampled sounds, including the darbuka's basic notes "Dum," "Tak," "Ka," and "Pa."
• Ornaments: Input not only main beats but also subtle ornaments like ghost notes. You can also adjust the volume balance.

2. Playback Controls Optimized for Practice
• BPM Adjustment: Practice at a leisurely pace or play at a high speed.
• Count-in Function: By adding a pre-beat before playback begins, you'll never miss the timing to pick up your instrument.
• Loop Playback: Allows you to repeatedly practice difficult phrases or automatically stops after a specified number of plays.

3. Bluetooth Earphone Support (Latency Compensation)
We've solved the biggest issue with Android music apps: audio delay (delay) during Bluetooth playback.
