XronoMorph is a free new app for generating geometrically informed musical loops. The software was developed by a team of researchers based in Sydney and Wisconsin led by Dr. Andrew J. Milne.
The software utilizes two underlying mathematical principles – perfect balance and well-formedness – to assist in the construction of novel rhythms that would otherwise be hard to generate. These principles generalize polyrhythms, additive, and Euclidean rhythms.
The rhythms are visualized as polygons inscribed in a circle, which allows them to be composed and understood both sonically and visually. Each polygon can play an independent sound, and XronoMorph comes with a useful selection of samples to play the rhythms. Alternatively, you can load your own VST or AU plugins, or send MIDI to an external software or hardware synth.
