How to play
- Start. Tap the green dot top left. Space bar works too.
- Pick a mode. The next four dots switch pattern style: step, euclid, scatter, pulse. While playing, a new mode blinks and takes over at the start of the next bar.
- Set tempo. Tap a dot in the top-right strip, 90 to 160 BPM.
- Edit the beat. Each grid row is a drum: kick, snare, closed hat, open hat, clap, rim, tom, glitch blip. Tap a dot to toggle it. Editing a generated pattern copies it into step mode so it's yours.
- Beat repeat. Hold a ring while it plays. Left to right repeats 1/4 to 1/32 notes. Lower rows fade and drop pitch harder. Slide between rings, let go to snap back.
- Density. The bottom strip sets how busy every mode is, and how often hits glitch into stutters.
- Tap a dot. It plays a note and sends out a ripple. Every dot the ripple reaches plays too, softer and duller the further it travels. Low notes are bottom left, high notes top right.
- Cross ripples. Where two ripples meet, that dot rings out brighter and a smaller ripple starts there. Those can cross again, up to three times.
- Drone. The green dot top left taps a random dot every few seconds. Space bar works too.
- Scale. The next three dots: minor pentatonic, major pentatonic, Dorian.
- Speed. The top-right strip sets how fast ripples spread.
- Reach. The bottom strip sets how far a ripple travels before it dies out.
Sound on. On iPhone, flip off silent mode.
