Rhythm Necklace - Geometric Sequencer App Reviews

When immersed in a composing project, I find Necklace to be a wonderful scratchpad for helping capture and refine my odd-meter earworms.

I love this app. It is fun and easy to use. I find it so useful for coming up with seeds for future song development. I don't often have large blocks of time to dedicate to making music and this makes it so easy to grab those brief moments I do have and make the most of them. I use it with its own sounds. I also use it for its midi capabilities. It has inspired.

Not yer grandpappy's sequencer. Thankfully.

I lose all sense of time when I am playing with this thing. Thanks!

This app is great. I like figuring out the rhythms on paper and then trying them out with the app. It's good how it can adjust tempo for each cycle if they have different amount of beats. It would also be interesting to keep all cycles the same tempo so that they get off track with each other.

Rhythm Necklace is a wonderfully elegant and intuitive music making tool. You do not need to be a "Musician" to make beautiful and interesting music with it, and in this way it encourages us all to partake in the joy of making music from the shapes and patterns that live all around us. It also teaches us important basics of how music works, but without "instruction"-- purely through play and experimentation. Great for all people.

As a companion to this app, I would recommend: “The Geometry of Musical Rhythm” by Godfried Toussaint, CRC Press.

This app provides a marvelously innovative approach to understanding and creating rhythmic patterns. It has profoundly changed how I think about music. It’s hard to overstate the value and simplicity of the insights the app provides using these rotationally symmetric patterns. It takes a little mind bending to wrap your brain around the possibilities, but it has now become an essential tool for me. Bravo to the creators!!

Rhythm Necklace is a easy and elegant way to make odd meter and polyrhythmic practice grooves. Highly recommended.

An intuitive and fun way to map out complex rhythms. Controls and settings are easy to use and very effective. I think this is the coolest way to create a visual of beats that make up rhythms and grooves

the emailing function doesn’t work unfortunately

love using this app to come up with weird wonky rhythms. its really good for laid back swung type grooves

Intuitive and flexible // balance and chaos are always a step away // you’ll find poly rhythms forever // I only wish I had found this sooner
