Mixed Up Rhythms is a rhythm practice tool for working musicians and serious students. Enter a melodic passage from a piece you are working on, and the app generates that passage written in every rhythm pattern for a given note grouping — a complete systematic workout in all rhythms.

Choose a note grouping by tapping one of the six buttons above.

Choose the clef your instrument reads in and the key of your passage. The instrument setting transposes the audio preview to concert pitch — so if you play B♭ clarinet, what you hear matches what you sound.

Type a document name, then tap notes on the keyboard. Tap a chip's spelling button to cycle enharmonics. Use ► Play Passage to hear your entry back.

Tap Generate Exercises to produce the full set of rhythm patterns.

Tap ▲ Save Exercise to save your exercise to your personal library. You'll be asked for your name, email, and instrument once — the app remembers you after that. Use ☰ Library to browse your saved exercises or search the community library by instrument or composer.

— Your passage plays once through each pattern, stopping when all notes are used.
— Any passage length works — a few notes or an entire phrase.
— Tap ↻ Start Over to reset and begin a new passage.
