About this app

Odd meter rhythm machine for musicians.

PolyBeat lets you create and loop complex time signatures such as 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 11/8, and 13/8 in any combination.

Even if you are new to odd meters, you can start with simple loops and develop a natural sense of groove by listening and playing along.

PolyBeat is designed for drummers, bassists, guitarists, composers, and music producers who want to practice odd meters or sketch rhythm ideas for new songs.

PolyBeat was created as a tool to help musicians feel complex rhythms physically, not just understand them theoretically.
