The Rhythm Machine is a tool to generate random rhythms/pitches within set parameters for creative inspiration and ear training.

  • Play a groove along to the click and have the Rhythm Machine present you with 'x' beats of a random pattern for you to figure out and play on the kit (or piano/guitar/etc.)
  • Select from permutations from quarter notes through to 32nd notes (including quintuplets).
  • Have it play random notes from specified chords for ear training on a pitched instrument.
  • Have it generate random chord sequences and try to play along.
  • 2 step sequencers allow you to create overlapping polyrhythms (ever wondered what 15 against 19 sounds like? What about if you group the 19 into groups of 7 and the the 15 into groups of 4?)
You can do all that and more with the Rhythm Machine.
