Description
polybeat is an advanced and extremely flexible drum and percussion sequencer able to generate complex polyrhythmic and polymetric rhythmic patterns.
nb: polybeat does not make sound by itself, you will need to load it in an AUv3-compatible host (such as AUM, Audiobus, ApeMatrix, Nanostudio 2, etc.) or connect it to an external drum machine, synthesizer, computer or any other sound generating device.
features:
- independently configurable sequence length per drum voice (ranging from 1 to 32 steps)
- independently configurable step length per drum voice (ranging from double whole notes to 64th notes, including tuplets and dotted notes)
- every sequencer step can be modulated by the following attributes:
- accent on/off
- ratchet (note repeats)
- skip (note every *n* loops)
- chance
- timing offset
- sample-accurate sequencing engine
- slick and responsive native UI
- undo/redo
- individual drum voices can be muted or solo'ed
- sequences can be instantly transformed by the following actions:

Ratings and Reviews
Good but
Great sequencer, but in AUM, if I extend past 16 beats, it clips the sound on beat 17 every single time (using both FAC Drumkit and Koala). Would be great to have a couple more assignable CCs as well. Otherwise perfect.
An amazing polyrhythmic sequencer
This sequencer is amazing! Easy to use, and very reliable. The ability to change individual step lengths in a drum lane is outstanding. The interface is easy on the eyes and great to look at. My only concern noticing that the last update was a year ago is hoping this app will continue to work well into the future.
Crashes constantly
This app is functionally pretty cool except for the fact that it constantly crashes when hosted in AUM, making it useless for live performance. It also lacks a way to change patterns through external midi control. Fortunately I’ve found Rozeta Sequencer Suite gets both those birds stoned without any issues. Wish I would have known before spending money on this one though.
