Why people use Polyrhythm Calculator
Polyrhythm Calculator for Precise MIDI Timing
With this Connector, you just tell your AI client the rhythms you want to layer. It handles the math and gives you the exact millisecond timestamps for every note. You stop guessing and start placing notes with 100% accuracy, which means you spend more time making music and less time doing math.
What Vinkius changes
That it turns abstract rhythmic ideas into concrete data you can actually use in your music software.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect
Questions about Polyrhythm Calculator.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can the Polyrhythm Calculator help me with MIDI programming?
Yes, it provides exact millisecond timestamps for every note in a polyrhythm. You can feed these numbers directly into your DAW to place MIDI notes with perfect accuracy.
How does the Polyrhythm Calculator handle different BPMs?
You just provide the BPM and the rhythms you want to compare. The Connector then calculates the correct timing and grid resolution based on that specific tempo.
Is the Polyrhythm Calculator good for complex percussion loops?
It's built for exactly that. It helps you map out how different layers of percussion interact and tells you exactly where they will align.
Can I use the Polyrhythm Calculator to find my DAW grid size?
Yes, the get_grid_resolution capability calculates the smallest subdivision unit you need for any given rhythm, so your grid always matches your notes.
What is a sync point in the Polyrhythm Calculator?
A sync point is the exact moment where all your different rhythmic layers align at the same time. Knowing this helps you create loops that reset perfectly.
Does the Polyrhythm Calculator work for music theory students?
Absolutely. It's a great capability for visualizing and calculating the math behind complex polyrhythms, making it easier to teach or learn advanced timing.
How do I find when my rhythms will align?
Use the find_sync_point capability by providing an array of rhythm counts (e.g., [3, 4] for a 3:4 polyrhythm). It will return the alignment pulse and cycle duration.
Can I get precise timestamps for notes in milliseconds?
Yes, the get_layer_attacks capability calculates the exact millisecond timestamp for every attack in each layer based on your provided BPM and number of measures.
What is the minimum subdivision grid?
You can use get_grid_resolution to find the smallest rhythmic unit (in ms) and the number of ticks per beat required to represent all attacks perfectly.
