PolyDex

By musicians, for musicians

See the rhythm before you play it.

PolyDex turns counts, accents, sticking, picking, and polyrhythms into a visual practice grid that keeps the pulse in front of you.

Count. Accent. Repeat.

A rhythm grid that stays out of the way.

The controls are built around the way players practice: choose the pulse, mark the accents, add the motion, and keep looping.

Count

Count

Lock the pulse before your hands start negotiating with gravity.

Accent

Accent

See exactly where the weight lands in the bar.

Overlay

Overlay

Layer in sticking, picking, syllables, or symbols that match the part.

Repeat

Repeat

Run the loop until the pattern feels playable, not theoretical.

What it handles

For the patterns that need more than a metronome.

  • Ratios like 3:4 and 5:7.
  • Count feels like 1 and 2 and, letters, or custom symbols.
  • Sticking and picking overlays like R L R R or D U D U.
  • Playback, timing games, saved patterns, and print-friendly grids.

Same pulse. Different lens. The grid keeps the placement honest.

Made for players

For anyone who has ever slowed a pattern down to find the real beat.

Drummers

Map hands, accents, and subdivisions while the groove stays visible.

Guitarists

Work picking direction through odd groupings without losing the downbeat.

Teachers

Build compact exercises students can see, hear, print, and bring back next lesson.

Composers

Turn awkward rhythmic ideas into grids that players can count and rehearse.

Testing

Help shape the feel of the practice loop.

If you work with rhythm every day, we want PolyDex to feel clear, quick, and worth opening before a rehearsal, lesson, or writing session.
