Two layers
Pick 3:2, 4:3, 5:4 or any pair up to 16. The outer ring is layer A, the inner shape is layer B, and the bigger points mark where both play together.
Polymeter
Turn on Polymeter to share one pulse while the bars differ, for example 4 against 3. The accents drift apart and meet on beat 1 again after 12 beats.
Questions
What does 3:2 mean?
Three even notes in one layer against two in the other, in the same time. Both start together on beat 1.
Polyrhythm or polymeter?
A polyrhythm divides one bar two ways. A polymeter keeps one pulse with bars of different length.
