Chris Korda | Polymeter Phase diagram with Convergences @ckorda | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Version 1.0.4 of the Polymeter MIDI Sequencer features a couple of cool enhancements to the Phase bar, both accessible via its context menu. The first is that the phase diagram can now indicate convergences slightly before and after they occur. The participating orbits are increasingly highlighted as the convergence approaches, and gradually return to normal as the convergence recedes. This is useful because the planets often move fast enough that it can be hard to tell when they’re lined up. Also the planets can appear lined up when they’re actually not, unlike the convergence indicator which is foolproof. And, because the highlighting changes both the width and the color of each orbit in proportion to its proximity to convergence, it’s very satisfying to watch. The second feature is that the Phase bar can now go full screen, without caption bar or borders, which is similarly visually pleasing. Music: "Atunwi" from "Polymeter" (Mental Groove).
