"Info" added to every page nav and to the concept cards. Wired into build.sh + deploy.sh.

PE‑1 — PolyMeter Editor

+
Web appFree · no installOpen source
+

The full polymeter workbench, and the reference design for the whole PolyMeter family: build + grooves where each voice runs in its own meter and subdivision, audition them in the browser, and save the + result as a compact program string the hardware units play back verbatim.

+ +
+
+
+

+ +

Designed for

+

Anyone working in odd or layered meter — practising a 4‑over‑3, programming a polyrhythmic groove, or + sketching parts before a rehearsal. It's the authoring tool: everything the hardware devices play is + created here and shared as a program string or set‑list code.

+
    +
  • Per‑lane meter & subdivision — each voice has its own beat count and subdivision, with a + pad grid for accents, ghosts, and mutes.
    • +
  • Drum & click voices — synth and sampled sounds, swing, accent levels.
    • +
  • Trainer & ramp — bar‑count automation, tempo ramps, and a countdown.
    • +
  • Program string — the live patch is shown, editable, and copy/paste‑able; set‑lists encode to a + shareable code. This is the same string the Stage and + Micro units load.
    • +
+ +

A web app — nothing to build, nothing to buy. (Bills of materials apply + only to the buildable hardware: Stage and Micro.)

PM‑1 — Initial

+
ConceptIdealized deviceNot buildable as drawn
+

The idealized PM‑1: the player as a clean, screen‑first device with no concession to + mechanical parts yet. It's the look we design toward — the Stage + build is what that idea becomes once it's made from real components.

+ +
+

+ +

What it is

+

A concept render of a dedicated PolyMeter player: full set‑list navigation, a colour beat display showing + every lane, light/dark theming, and a fullscreen landscape "stage" view. It runs the same engine and program + strings as everything else in the family, but as an idealized object — before deciding which buttons, + encoders, jacks, and enclosure actually make it real.

+ +
+

This is a concept, so there's no bill of materials — there's nothing to source for a render. The + buildable realization of this idea is the PM‑1 Stage, which has a full priced + BOM. For the smallest practical unit, see PM‑µ Micro.

HardwareHome practice~$28 one‑off

The smallest possible polymeter unit for daily practice: one dial and a red LED, nothing to + learn. Spin for tempo, press to start/stop, hold & spin to flip through grooves — that's it.

+ +
+
+
+

+ +

Designed for

+

The practice desk. No screen to read, no menus — a single depressable scroll‑encoder does everything + (spin = tempo, press = start/stop, hold + spin = switch track) and a bright 7‑segment LED shows the BPM + (or the track number while you switch). It runs off any USB‑C charger, plays through a small built‑in + speaker, and ships with the editor's grooves built in. Synth voices only — no analog audio path.

A gig‑ready polymeter box for the pedalboard: a colour readout of every lane, fast set‑list + navigation, and your instrument running straight through with the click mixed in — so it sits in your + signal chain and feeds the PA, all on a non‑reflective matte‑black case.

Designed for

+

The stage and the rehearsal room. Top‑mounted 1/4″ jacks keep cabling tidy on a board; you plug your + instrument in, the metronome click is summed into the signal in the analog domain (no re‑digitising, + no added latency) and sent to a balanced 1/4″ TRS output for the desk, plus a small monitor speaker. + Powered from a standard 9 V DC pedal supply or USB‑C. The colour TFT shows tempo, the item name, and all + lane patterns; arcade buttons + a recessed thumb‑roller survive stage abuse.
