Polyrhythm Cycle Alignment Calculator

polyrhythm cycle alignment calculator online

Use polyrhythm cycle alignment calculator online for first pulses, second pulses, cycle s. Ideal mathematical audio model with supplied values. Real speakers, rooms, hearing exposure and converter performance are not measured.

How to use it

Enter first pulses. Set second pulses, cycle s. Select Calculate and check the labeled output. Copy or download the JSON result.

Options and example settings

Calculation method

first_step_s = cycle_s/positive(first_pulses); second_step_s = cycle_s/positive(second_pulses); alignment_grid_steps = first_pulses*second_pulses/gcd(first_pulses,second_pulses) (^ means exponentiation; trig functions ending in d use degrees).

Worked examples

Apply polyrhythm cycle alignment calculator to the case below, keeping the displayed units and assumptions. Ideal mathematical audio model with supplied values. Real speakers, rooms, hearing exposure and converter performance are not measured.

Polyrhythm Cycle Alignment Calculator — worked case

Settings: second pulses: 4; cycle s: 2

Input:

3

Calculated result for these inputs:

Output:

{
  "first_step_s": 0.6666666666666666,
  "second_step_s": 0.5,
  "alignment_grid_steps": 12
}

Choose the right tool

Choose timing tools for tempo and samples, tuning tools for frequency ratios, and level tools for amplitude or power. Coherent signal addition differs from independent-source addition; acoustic room estimates assume simplified conditions.

Limitations and common mistakes

• Ideal mathematical audio model with supplied values. Real speakers, rooms, hearing exposure and converter performance are not measured.
• Use the displayed unit in every field. Ratios and percentages are different inputs; percent fields use values such as 25 rather than 0.25.
