How the Random Rhythm Generator works
When you press Generate, the tool loads its dataset of 15 rhythms, picks an index using crypto.getRandomValues, and reveals the match. Toggle unique to draw without repeats, or raise the quantity to pull a whole set at once.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the list of rhythms come from?
It's a curated set of 15 rhythms maintained for this tool — broad enough to stay interesting, vetted so every result is usable.
Is the selection actually random?
Yes. Picks use the browser's crypto RNG rather than a predictable shuffle, so results aren't weighted or ordered.
Does it work on mobile?
It does — the generator is fully responsive and works the same on phones, tablets, and desktops.
Can I use these results commercially?
Yes — the results are yours to use however you like, including in projects, games and content.
