Cycle Composer 1.6

Cycle Composer is a pattern-driven music tool for creating and exploring repeating musical ideas. It centers on cycles—rhythmic, melodic, and textural loops—that you can layer, offset, and evolve to build complex pieces from simple parts.

Design tight grooves or hypnotic textures with an intuitive, step-based workflow. Combine cycles of different lengths to unlock natural polyrhythms and shifting accents. Introduce subtle variations to keep ideas moving without breaking your flow, and use clear visual feedback to understand how patterns interact in real time.

Highlights:

• Layer multiple cycles and experiment with odd lengths for evolving rhythms
• Flexible step editor for beats, motifs, and variations
• Non-destructive editing with instant audition and undo
• Global tempo with per-cycle swing and offset for feel and movement
• Quick arrangement of sections for sketching, practice, or performance

Whether you’re sketching beats, studying meter, or teaching rhythmic concepts, Cycle Composer offers a focused space to think in loops and write music that breathes.
