7.3.2. What it does
Here’s an example: What if you wanted a pattern with this mixture of time signatures:
Instrument
Kick
Snare 1
Snare 2
Tom Hi
Tom Low
Time signature
3/16
1/4
5/16
3/8
4/4
The Tom Low track is the longest, so we’ll use that as the timing reference for our discussion.
Here’s how those tracks would look in the MIDI Control Center:
But here’s a visual representation of how they would sound during the first bar:
And during the second bar:
The second loop, Snare 1, is highlighted as a rhythmic reference. It plays on quarter notes 1,
2, 3, and 4, and the Tom Low will play on beat 1 every time.
But the other instruments will continue their shorter loops: the Kick will play its cycle of 3,
Snare 2 a cycle of 5, and Tom Hi a cycle of 6. They will play at different times in relationship
to each other for quite a while.
In this example it will be 360 bars of 4/4 time before the first bar is heard again!
To toggle Polyrhythm on and off, hold the Shift button and press Step button 16.
