Anacru

Construct advanced rhythm.

A mobile scratchpad for building the rhythm you hear in your head — metric modulation, interlocking polymeters, phase shifts, and nested tuplets — with live playback and a MIDI export you drop into any DAW.

Coming to the App Store

What you can build

Polymeter

Stack independent layers — each with its own meter, subdivision, accents, and phase — locked to one pulse.

Metric modulation

Pick the note value before and after; get the exact new tempo instantly, direction never ambiguous.

Nested tuplets

A quintuplet inside a triplet inside a bar. Stack them — the engine handles the math.

Phase & accents

Tap a pulse to accent it, or drag a layer's ring to rotate its phase. The wheel is the instrument.

Distinct voices

Each layer gets its own pitch, stereo position, and voice — woodblock, marimba, pluck, sine, or a drum kit.

MIDI export

A clean tempo map plus one track per layer — straight into your DAW.

Private by design. No account, no sign-up, no tracking, no internet required. Everything lives on your device. One purchase, yours to keep.
