Hi everyone, especially Mac users:

Here are a couple of clips to illustrate that harmonic metronome with golden ratio based tuning and rhythm.

- the most inharmonic possible interval with the most polyrhythmic possible rhythm. I've just added some volume variation to help bring it out a bit.

Here I added a couple more rhythms at g^2 and g^3 and varying tempo and a lilt for the beats:

without the varying tempo

And Pi/4 which has closer beats more often because of close rational approximations like 22/7

They are rendered directly to audio using the Roland Sound Canvas which gives a quick way of making an example mp3 so you can get some idea of what the post was about. Some time it will be nice to spend a bit more time on making examples of these rhythms.

BTW Bounce Metronome Pro uses the same unlock key as Tune Smithy - so for those of you who have already bought the Play or Complete level of Tune Smithy you can use it to unlock Bounce Metronome Pro. Or vice versa of course.

Thanks,

hi robert, most of these were example type bits, but this one stuck me as very musically useful as well
keep up the invention!
