MiTempo: Rhythm, Accompaniment, and Konoko Study

MiTempo is a new iOS app designed as an interactive accompaniment and study environment for Konoko rhythm practice. It provides a responsive rhythmic framework where users can explore the timing, phrasing, and articulation of Konoko through adaptive tempo control, looping, and pattern layering. The app is intended for musicians, composers, and learners seeking to deepen their understanding of rhythmic interaction and improvisation through structured yet flexible digital accompaniment.

MiTempo enables users to:

• Generate and manipulate layered rhythmic cycles in real time.
• Practice Konoko sequences with adaptive tempo and subdivision control.
• Visualize rhythmic relationships through dynamic pattern displays and playback modes.

The app draws conceptual inspiration from the rhythmic pedagogy of Rafael Reina, particularly his work on translating South Indian rhythmic concepts into modern compositional and improvisational frameworks. Reina’s writings on rhythmic modulation and structural design form a key reference point for MiTempo’s educational design.

Future updates will include expanded rhythmic modules, guided practice materials, and integration with MIDI-based environments for use in live performance and composition. More documentation, examples, and reference videos will be posted on this page soon.
