In this drum and percussion sequencer app, you can create complex polyrhythmic and polymetric patterns using adjustable sequence and step lengths, as well as pattern modulation features. Includes AUv3 preset management, pattern transformation tools, and MIDI support.
About polybeat
polybeat is an advanced and extremely flexible drum and percussion sequencer able to generate complex polyrhythmic and polymetric rhythmic patterns.
nb: polybeat does not make sound by itself, you will need to load it in an AUv3-compatible host (such as AUM, Audiobus, ApeMatrix, Nanostudio 2, etc.) or connect it to an external drum machine, synthesizer, computer or any other sound generating device.
features:
- independently configurable sequence length per drum voice (ranging from 1 to 32 steps)
- independently configurable step length per drum voice (ranging from double whole notes to 64th notes, including tuplets and dotted notes)
- every sequencer step can be modulated by the following attributes:
- accent on/off
- ratchet (note repeats)
- skip (note every *n* loops)
- chance
- timing offset
- sample-accurate sequencing engine
- slick and responsive native UI
- undo/redo
- individual drum voices can be muted or solo'ed
- sequences can be instantly transformed by the following actions:
- shift left/right
- rotate
- randomize
- mirror
- reverse
- double
- bisect
- full AUv3 preset- and state-saving
- ability to copy and paste patterns between instances of the plugin
- mapping presets for popular AUv3 drum apps and hardware drum machines
- includes musical scale presets for polybeat to be used as a melodic sequencer
- responds to MIDI input for switching and selecting patterns, as well as performing pattern transformations
- works offline
- no push notifications
- no ads or in-app purchases
- no third-party behavioural tracking tools
ongoing development and support, many new features on the roadmap
