Binary, 0s and 1s
Binarhythmic is a MIDI sequencer with a counter that increases on each sequencer cycle.
That number's binary representation, something like "001101010".
Each 0 or 1 is a "Bit", and each bit controls a MIDI output.
If a bit is 1, the gate opens for that bit; if it's 0, the gate remains closed.
Generating Rhythm
Add or remove bits to work with as many MIDI outputs as you want.
Each bit has configurable note, velocity, gate length, trigger type, and logic.
Add velocity and gate length variety for humanized sounds, especially useful for hi-hats.
Assign different MIDI channels to bits to control multiple synths simultaneously.
The multiplier parameter controls the counter for immediate rhythm changes.
Set sequencer speed with the rate parameter, from 16-bar cycles to 1/64th notes.
Set the trigger behaviour
The gate type is crucial for rhythm generation behavior.
On each sequencer cycle, if the gate is open for a bit:
- Rest mode doesn't send MIDI.
- Single mode sends MIDI once when the gate first opens.
- Multiple mode sends MIDI on each cycle while the gate remains open.
- Hold mode sends MIDI when opened and sustains until the gate closes.
Modulate the bits against each other
Logic is one of Binarhythmic's most powerful features.
Apply logic operations between bits for complex rhythmic modulation:
- AND(&) opens the gate only if both bits are open.
- OR(+) opens the gate if either bit is open.
- XOR(^) opens the gate only if the other bit is closed.
Create endless rhythmic possibilities using these logic operations.
Take advantage of the AUv3 Plugin
Binarhythmic operates as both a standalone app and an AUv3 MIDI Plugin.
Create AU presets and utilize all available AU parameters.
Control or automate every parameter with comprehensive AU support.
Modulate the multiplier parameter with PatternBud.
Control key and scale using BrainBud integration.
