Very cool. 1. I have an existing use of PN. 2. I have an aspirational one. I've used PN a long time in my practice of contemporary classical music. Much of it has mixed meters or metric modulation. I can create a map of the piece and play it with click at varying tempi. My aspirational use is to learn funk styles. I'm not a jazz pianist, but I have it in my head that I could learn classic funk and I want to use PN as an old school drum machine to practice grooves with.
Hi Joe - great looking App 😊. Sometimes when gigging it is easy to ‘forget’ the intro for the next song, particularly if you’re playing in a new band. Could there be a way to, for example, in a set list play the first few bars of the song before the metronome count in? This would be so cool and give an instant memory hook for those oldies amongst us 😂. Thanks Phil
Hi Phil, you have a few options. What I used to do was program the groove I’d be playing (or the intro fill), and use that as the count in. Getting the time from the groove you’ll be playing feels much nicer to me than getting it from a plain old click. The other option is to use the new Track Markup feature and actually add the song to your playlist. You can trim the start and end points so it will only play the couple of bars you need. However, you would need to reach down and hit the Next button to start the click. You can use Apple Music songs (if you have an Apple Music subscription), or anything on RUclips, for Track Markup. Be mindful though that you’ll need an internet connection for those to work. You can also use local files on your device, so if you wanted, you could create a small audio file of the part of the song you wanted to hear as an mp3 and import that as a Track Markup preset. You might want to check out this video I recorded with Ron Wikso of the Steve Miller Band for some other ideas… polynome.craft.me/using-in-a-band Best, Joe
Yes, if you have the basic version there’s a 1 week free trial of Premium which enables all of the Pro features. You’ll find it in the Premium page in the menu.
The Pro version (Drum Sequencer) has all features unlocked. The basic version (Metronome) has a subscription to unlock some features (includes a free month long trial). Comparison at PolyNome.net/features
Does this have a visual click? Trying to get my drummer out of his earbuds when we gig. He hates having to listen to a track with click the entire time
Yep. You can have a big numbers display that flashes up the beat number on the whole screen. You can have the whole screen flash. You can have flashing blocks across the top of the screen and/or a line that swings across the screen

My best metronome since a couple of years. I recommend PolyNome all my students

Thanks for the advice Joe 🤙 and I’ll check out the video
Hi. Looks really good, do you offer a trial period for the pro version?

What is the difference between the metronome and the drum sequencer? I look at both at the app store and they look exactly the same.

I'm a violin player and I love it.

Is it possible to get this on android or PC as yet?
Afraid not. More info at PolyNome.net/android
Need it for Android
I’m afraid that’s not on the cards at the moment. More details at PolyNome.net/android
Need to develop it for the Android that would be awesome
I’m afraid PolyNome is not currently available for Android. You can read more about why, and possible solutions, at PolyNome.net/android
I used to have a Trinome! Yep, I was born in 1950. How do I program 5 over 2? Thanks
@@thejerryfields the easiest way is to tap the Polyrhythm option in the menu, then choose 5 and 2 and hit done
