SELECTED RHYTHM PATTERNS

Be aware of the following.

Macro/microbeat patterns may include combinations of macrobeats and microbeats, only macrobeats, or only microbeats.

Division patterns may include one or more divisions of macrobeats, other than microbeats, or one or more divisions of microbeats.

Elongation patterns may include one or more elongations of microbeats, other than macrobeats, or one or more elongations of macrobeats.

A division of a macrobeat may sound exactly the same as an elongation of a microbeat. For example, a dotted eighth note written in usual duple meter in 2/4 may be considered a division of a quarter note macrobeat or an elongation of an eighth note microbeat.

An elongation of a microbeat begins on a microbeat and an elongation of a macrobeat begins on a macrobeat.

Division/elongation patterns include one or more divisions and one or more elongations.

Rest patterns include one or more rests of the same or different durations. In audiation, they are combined with and become integral parts of one or both adjacent patterns. That is, because underlying macrobeats and microbeats are audiated during a rest, a rest becomes a silent elongation of the pattern it follows and the pattern it precedes.

Tie patterns are different from elongation patterns because whereas an elongation occurs within a rhythm pattern, a tie occurs between rhythm patterns. Specifically, tie patterns connect a part of or an entire final macrobeat of one pattern to a part of or an entire initial macrobeat of the following pattern.

Upbeat patterns are generally shorter than typical rhythm patterns and occur before the initial macrobeat of a complete rhythm pattern. In audiation, upbeat patterns are combined with and become integral parts of patterns they precede.

Rest, tie, and upbeat patterns may be thought of as configurations of macro/microbeat, division, elongation, and division/elongation patterns.
