Challenge yourself playing along to the Genius Jamtracks trio,
the first Polyrhythm Generator App for iOS
The iPhone app to help you master polyrhythms
Redesigned from the ground up with more than a thousand songs to get your polyrhythms game going and an algorithm that thinks and plays like a real jazz trio – so much so, the members have actual names.
Genius Jamtracks is much more than just a play-along. It is a polyrhythmic iPhone app that lets you master the polyrhythmic Jazz vocabulary in the context of actual songs making the practice experience as realistic and as fun as can be.
Rather than just having a metronome play the polyrhythmic patterns, you have a Jazz trio with great sound and feel, play and hit you with polyrhythmic phrases keeping things unexpected, challenging and fresh at all times.

Genius Jamtracks Algorithm
We’ve designed our algorithm to think and play like an actual jazz trio.
Rather than the tedium of playing along
with predictable, prerecorded phrases,
now you can jump in on the instrument of your choice
and experience the thrill of seemingly endless variations
in a jam session right from your smartphone.

Modes
Jam Session
The GJT trio decides on their own what to play and when to play it, based on the style of the song and the tempo.
Practice
To focus on a specific grouping, polyrhythm, or rhythmic displacement, you can ask the trio (by individual instrument or all three) to do this, so that when they choose to introduce polyrhythmic phrasing it will include only what you requested.
As you won’t know when or how it will be used though, this feature also helps sharpen your ability to improvise as well as mastering that rhythm.

The Rhythm Department - Rhythmic Complexity Slider to practise polyrhythms with your iPhone App
From the traditional comping of a standard play-along and common polyrhythms of the jazz vocabulary to more complex, challenging and sometimes superhuman rhythms, experiment with how the app transforms the rhythm according to the slider level.

Department of Reharmonization - Harmonic Complexity Slider
From triads and jazz harmony to more complex chords and negative harmony, experiment with how the app reharmonizes each song according to the slider level.

Voice leading
Whether you choose to adjust the level of harmonic complexity
or just press play and trust GJT to create your Genius Jam session for you,
you’ll always have the same attention to voice leading from the pianist
and the same effort in creating beautiful lines from the bassist to accompany you.

Groove & Velocities
Dynamics, note durations, and space are important elements of playing style so naturally the GJT trio pays close attention to each of these elements to make the Genius Jam session experience as close to the real thing as possible.
