Or you can play both parts yourself. Or play 3 beats played simultaneously with 5, or 2 with 3 with 5 etc. If that's what you want to practice, this is just the metronome for you.

Polyrhythms are very common in African drumming and in Indian music and the African Pygmies are particularly noted for their polyrhythms, also the composer Ligeti who was influenced by Pygmie music. top

The bouncing balls bounce in opposite directions for the polyrhythms - this makes it easier to distinguish the bounces for the different rhythms by eye.

As with the Basic Metronome, you can accent or unaccent beats with RIGHT CLICK, skip beats with LEFT CLICK, adjust beat volumes with MIDDLE CLICK or SHIFT + LEFT CLICK. For details see the page about the Basic metronome.

You can also adjust timings of individual beats, practice with a gradually changing tempo, or add a lilt to the bar timings. For more about this see the page about the Pro metronome.

When you have many rhythms played simultaneously, then it can help distinguish the bounces if you split the display up into several sections with two rhythms only in each section (or you may prefer to have just one rhythm in each section).

You can set the number of bouncing balls per section in the Bounce Preferences (Ctrl + 220) window.

Here is what it sounds like: 2 with 3 with 5 with 7 / 4 - polyrhythm
