Hello , 

I don't want to sound pedantic but bear with me .

A polyrhytm is the juxtaposition of 2 speeds or tempi. A vertical hemiola ,for instance  of 3 over 2, has the same time unit for the 2 note values . Clear enough. Polymeters on the other hand have the same tempo unit. 

Has i understand Gstomper ( i'm new to it ) we can create more easily polyrhytms 

In Gstomper Producer but still i have difficulties understanding how to create a simple 3/2 vertical hemiola .I do this easily in Notion Mobile wich is a notation software. 

What am i missing ?

Thanks

In Producer, general tempo (bpm) is global, but the timing is individual per track. Means, you can specify per track how long a step is + how many steps you want in the track pattern.

Example:
T01:
Step timing 16, steps per bar 8, activate step 1 and 5

T02:
Step timing 16T, steps per bar 12, activate step 1, 5, and 9

That should give you a simple 3/2 vertical hemiola.

In the above example, the duration of the pattern is equal in time.
T02 simply has more, but shorter steps.
T01 has 8 1/16 steps
T02 has 12 1/24 (or 1/16 triplet) steps

Thanks my understanding is better now .
