PolyNome: The Ultimate Metronome
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
Featured App of the Month in the UK's Rhythm magazine!
PolyNome is The Ultimate Metronome. Designed by musicians, for musicians, it's far more powerful than any other metronome you've ever seen. Features include:
- test your timing by inserting bars of silence
- play cycles of rates
- build a "rhythmic scale" over any click rate
- play common stickings at any rate, over any rate (eg.
paradiddles at a quintuplet rate, over a click in 7)
- accent notes and note groupings (eg. play as paradiddles and accent every 3rd note)
- timing accurate to 44.1kHz
- tap tempo input
- high quality sounds tailored to the iPhone/iPod
The combinations are almost endless.
What people are saying about PolyNome:
Will Lee - session bass legend (Late Show, Brecker Bros, Bette Midler,...): "Wow! Polynome is a brilliant tool for drummers and any musician! It allows you to understand precisely what subdivisions among bars of time feel like, teaches you the drum rudiments, and so much more. I love "time check" where it'll leave bars of silence in between bars of click to see if your groove stays in time. One of the best apps for your toolkit, right up there with a good tuner!"
Bob Franceschini - tenor saxophone (Mike Stern, The Yellowjackets): "This is the ultimate! Totally usable by any musician, not just drummers.. brilliant! Thank you, thank you."
Chris Minh Doky - bass (Michael Brecker, Michel Camilo, John Scofield): "This app is killing. It is now my main and only Metronome app!"
Mike Partridge (session drummer): "This is exactly what I've needed from a metronome! You seem to have covered all the bases too. I especially like the inspiration it's given me for new across the bar stickings as you can hear them properly with good sounds. I can see this being used in lessons and practice rooms the world over. Good work guys!!!"
Kev (PolyNome User): "I have had this app for only one day and can already say, Awesome!! Much more than just a metronome...user creates rhythm patterns that relate to Left Hand and Right Hand sounds with a real nice drop down of common drumming stickings, i.e., paradiddle, double paradiddle etc.. It is so easy to create sequences of patterns, it's ridiculous. Well thought out... already using it for ear training - listening to rhythms that I am not used to hearing when I can't play on a pad or drums.....This is a no-brainer - just get it. Great job Joe and Lucas."
Kerry Hart (PolyNome user): "Very useful tool, I love the sticking functions, and being able to take the volume down on the left or right hand. I've been coming up with all kinds of new and interesting polyrhythms. I'm looking forward to incorporating this into my practice routines. Thanks!"
