Let geometry keep time.
Move dots around paths. Each crossing becomes a note. Layer different rates and shapes to discover rhythms you would never draw on a piano roll.
A small laboratory for musical motion
See the rhythm.
Follow the sound.
Turn moving shapes into evolving music. Build polyrhythms, sculpt their sound, and give every note a world to move through.
Native desktop application · Currently in development
MOTION STUDY / 3 : 4 : 5INTERACTIVE
A silent, illustrative sketch. Explore sound and custom paths in the desktop app.
Geometry · rhythm · music
A workbench for
happy accidents.
Start with a simple loop. Add another voice. Let the relationship between them become the composition.
Find the sound.
Seven synth voices, a sample bank, and multi-sample instruments. Shape the result with reverb, delay, tone, and compression.
Give music a visual world.
Layer scenes and post effects in the GFX workspace. Feed shaders with dots, hits, and live audio analysis.
Make it your own.
Draw closed paths in Path Lab, build instruments from audio files, and save your experiments as reusable .poly patches.
From a first pulse to a finished piece
Set it in motion.
One clock connects what you hear, what you see, and what you export.
- Build a pattern
Choose paths, set dot speeds, and place trigger lines. Layer cycles to build a rhythm.
- Shape the performance
Choose voices, tune effects, and build a look with reactive shaders.
- Keep the moment
Save a patch, render audio and video, or send a live visual output to OBS.
Beyond the workbench
Make something.
Take it with you.
Audio
Offline WAV rendering in 16-bit, 24-bit, or 32-bit float.
Video
Frame-stepped exports with H.264, H.265, ProRes, VP9, or PNG sequences. Alpha where the format supports it.
Live
Spout2 output on Windows and v4l2loopback on Linux for your streaming workflow.
The next rhythm is yours.
Polyrhythm Workbench is in development. Release details and download links will appear here when they are ready.
