A Visualization and Control Interface for Rhythmic Relations

RhyGlyph is a radial visualization system that represents rhythmic interaction as three pairwise spacetime trajectories within a compact three-wedge glyph, supporting both overview and detailed reading. Building on this representation, RhyDiff is a generative framework that learns aligned latent spaces for symbolic drum patterns and the encoded trajectory features through paired VQ-VAEs and FiLM-conditioned diffusion. Users edit relational trajectories and metadata to generate new drum patterns by treating visualization itself as a control surface.
