I'm not sure about this anymore. As long as the polymeters are simple like a 3 or 4 beat over a 12/8 main rhythm it's easy. Using second sequence just makes it more complicated. I'm talking polymeters where the notes are the same length but bars are different length for the different beats. For polyrhythms the bars are same length and note lengths are different. Polyrhythm and polymeter are different aspects of the same beats. I'm not the big expert on this so look it up on youtube if interested.
I see how being able to switch meters within a sequence might be good for genres that get crazy with meters.
A good drummer or finger drummer can lay down 2 rhythms, even complicated rhythms, at one time. I'm not there yet so need to use MPC to play my 3 beat over 12/8 that starts on the 2.
