Rhythm Machine

A metronome that loops any rhythm you type in — tuplets, dotted figures, and changing subdivisions per beat.

One beat per group, space-separated. Each group is N:patternN = how many parts the beat splits into, then one symbol per part: x hit · X accented hit · . rest.
Example: 4:x..x = beat split into 4 sixteenths, sounding a dotted-eighth then a sixteenth.
100 BPM
No headphones needed. The mic is high-pass filtered, so it hears your clap's sharp "crack" but mostly ignores the (darker) metronome click — works best with the Woodblock or Marimba sound. Press Listen, allow the mic, then clap a few times and watch the meter: each clap should jump well past the white threshold marker while the click barely moves it. Slide Sensitivity so the marker sits between the two. Then press Play and clap along — ticks land on the timeline above (green ≤25 ms · yellow ≤60 ms · red beyond). Headphones still give the cleanest result, but aren't required.
