PolyRhythms for the iPad

New iPad app via Xapnet Productions

"PolyRhythms
Two groups of buttons control a set of fast and slow rhythms. Fast rhythms are on the left side and slow rhythms are on the right side. Each row of buttons represents an independent loop, and each individual button is a beat. Beats can be touched in real time to turn them on and off.

* APP FEATURES: Designed and Built for the iPad.
* High quality drum samples create a rich audio experience.
* Audio controls include Play/Pause, Restart, and Tempo.
* Sessions can be saved or reloaded in real time during playback.
* Tempo can also be varied smoothly in real time.
* Progress indicator lets you know where you are in the master loop."

It's currently available on iTunes for free. Anyone know how to grab the link in iTunes? My normal source does not link to iPad apps yet.

"IMPORTANT UPDATE:
If you are running PolyRhythms version 1.0, please download the 1.0.1 update for improved performance and better documentation.

USING POLYRHYTHMS:
The two groups of buttons control the fast and slow rhythms. Fast rhythms are on the left side and slow rhythms are on the right side.

THE MASTER LOOP:
The leftmost beat in every row all play simultaneously at the beginning of the master loop, and will never all coincide again until the next beginning of the 840-beat pattern! Each time around around takes between 2-6 minutes depending on the tempo. The progress indicator (bottom) lets you know where you are in the master loop.

LEFT (FAST) SIDE:
The top left button plays every single beat. Each successive row of buttons on the left represents a looping rhythm of a different length, and each button represents a beat in that loop. Beats can be touched on and off during playback to adjust the pattern as it cycles against other rhythms.

RIGHT (SLOW) SIDE:
Each row of buttons on the right represents a different equal subdivision of the master loop, and each individual button is a unique location in the loop. These beats play only one time per cycle of the master loop - they mark your place in the cycle.

FEATURES:
- High quality drum samples create a rich audio experience.
- Audio controls (top right) include Play/Pause, Restart, and Tempo.
- Tempo can also be varied smoothly in real time.
- Progress indicator (bottom) lets you know where you are in the master loop.
- Sessions (top left) can be saved and loaded back in during playback.

COMING SOON:
- Flexible mapping of sounds.
- New sounds will be available through in-app purchase.
- Share sessions between devices."
