Overview
What is Quadranome?
The Quadranome is designed as an aid to learning complex polyrhythms.
In depth
A closer look at Quadranome
Four seperate metronomes or timelines are available, with up to 13 subdivisions per timeline.
By entering a number of beats per measure for each timeline, Quadranome can play up to 4 subdivisions against each other, with each metronome resolving to the "1". You can easily create polyrhythms such as 7/4/3, 13/4, or 11/4/5. By repeatedly listening to these complex rhythms, you can vastly improve your rhythmic vocabulary.
This type of device was reportedly used by such masterful musicians as John McLaughlin to internalize complex polyrhythms.
The Quadranome allows 4 rhythms to superimposed with up to 13 subdivisions per cycle. Also, 3 different sound sets are available - the traditional metronome sounds (bell, tick, tock, took?), a latin percussion set (agogo, bongo, hi conga, low conga), and a drum kit (cowbell, snare, tom, kick). Finally, each timeline displays it's beats-per-minute value, updated dynamically. Sound sets, time values and speed can be changed on-the-fly.
This Demo version is fully-featured but time-limited to 15 minutes. However, that should be enough time for anyone to decide whether they want or need Quadranome.
