ABEL Rhythm Dominoes

Interactive rhythm pattern learning tool • abeldominoes.com

How it works:

  • • Dot (•) = sound/attack
  • • Dash (–) = rest/silence (or ghost note if enabled)
  • • A (Pulse) → B (2 Halves) → E (3 Thirds) → L (4 Quarters)
  • • Single Pattern Mode: Click a pattern to start loop, click again to stop
  • • Sequence Mode: Click patterns to add them to your sequence, then play the sequence in loop
  • • Fusion Mode: Combine patterns to create complex subdivisions (e.g., E+E = sextolet, B+E = quintolet)
