Each rhythmic layer is visualised as a polygon inscribed in a circle, and each polygon can be constructed according to two different mathematical principles: perfect balance and well-formedness (aka MOS).<\/p>\n<p>These principles generalise polyrhythms, additive, and Euclidean rhythms. Furthermore, rhythms can be smoothly morphed between, and irrational rhythms with no regular pulse can also be easily constructed.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dynamictonality.com\/XronoAnime.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Each polygon can play an independent sound, and XronoMorph comes with a useful selection of samples to play the rhythms. Alternatively, you can load your own VST or AU plugins, or send MIDI to an external software or hardware synth. The rhythmic loops can be saved as presets within XronoMorph; they can also be saves as Scala scale tuning files, which means XronoMorph can be used as a tool for designing well-formed (MOS) and perfectly balanced microtonal scales.<\/p>\n<p>Perfect balance is a generalisation of the polyrhythms found in many African and jazz musical traditions. A rhythm is perfectly balanced when the mean position (centre of gravity) of all its rhythmic events, when arranged on a circle, is the the centre of that circle.<img class=\"aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dynamictonality.com\/XRONOS_WF.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Well-formedness is a generalisation of the additive rhythms found in aksak (Balkan), sub-Saharan African, and progressive rock musical traditions. Well-formed rhythms contain no more than two interonset intervals, arranged as evenly as possible. WF rhythm are typically nested by faster WF rhythms, which in combination form complex interlocking rhythmic hierarchies.<\/p>\n<p>XronoMorph is available completely free for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dynamictonality.com\/dl\/XronoMorph_1.0.0_Win.zip\">Windows 64-bit<\/a> (32-bit coming soon) and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dynamictonality.com\/dl\/XronoMorph_1.0.0_OSX.zip\">Mac OS X<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[youtube http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FgzLRzIM8rc?rel=0&amp;w=560&amp;h=315] This new app uses visual polygons to help you create loops based on mathematical principles &#8211; and it&#8217;s a lot funner than that sounds.
