Title
The Rhythm Harmonizer - A Music Inspiration Device
Description
The Rhythm Harmonizer is a drum machine synthesizer with an experimental twist. The
rhythm programming is achieved through square wave oscillator pulses. This may seem limiting as it only allows for even, metronome-like patterns, but by adjusting the speed of each voice independently, anything from triplet grooves to four on the floor rock beats could potentially be created. Furthermore, the use of pulse divisions encourages the use of polymeter, a technique that is uncommon in popular music. Another advantage of the pulse programming method is that it allows the tempo of the drums to be pushed so fast that they become sustained notes. Thus, the device can seamlessly transition from drum machine to synthesizer drone.
