#2I'm not sure why, but to me a ratio of about 2.5 sounds the most pleasingly rhythmic. I wonder if it has some interwoven relation with audio perception or if it's just a matter of taste!

That's interesting - 2.5 was the same number I landed on that sounded best to me.

#5The most interesting part of this to me is seeing that this is made with brython, and spotting a text/python script in the wild. Fun stuff, people are really creative.

#6Apparently the swing ratio (as measured by the ride cymbal) used by professional jazz musicians varies with the tempo:

Interesting, usually the ratio is 2 as it makes triplets!

2.5 is sort of the over-the-top classic laid-back sound. 1.25 also works very well and is typically close to what you hear on faster passages in a lot of jazz. It would be cool if this had multiple sections of music to show where different swing ratios are appropriate, like some faster and slower stuff, Bebop and other styles.
