Metronomics Metronome by John Nastos

Metronomics Metronome Screenshots



Description

A new kind of metronome -- use Metronomics to generate random patterns, sequenced grooves, or a combination of both to help you practice with more than just your typical click track. Enough features to keep a professional busy for years or start a beginner on the right track.

The only metronome that gives you complete control over how subdivisions are played -- add up to 10 subdivisions of any type (including custom subdivisions like 5/7) and have them played all the time, at random intervals, or in a sequenced pattern.

Features:
- Choose from 40 different samples for each subdivision, mastered for the iPhone
- Generate patterns using random or sequenced variations of different subdivisions
- Include preset patterns such as claves or ride cymbal patterns
- Choose any number of beats per measure you like or practice mixed meters such as 4 + 3 + 5 where the segments of the bar get accented automatically
- Use any type of subdivision. Common types like quarter notes, sixteenth notes, eighth triplets, etc, or create your own. 5/7, 23/4, no problem!
- Take a rhythm and use the "offset" feature to move it to different parts of the measure to practice with.
- Email saved metronomes back and forth with other Metronomics users
- Track your metronome usage. App shows how much you've practiced with it that day and total (optionally turn off time tracking)
- Train yourself with "independence" mode where you can set some bars to be inaudible -- keep the time going yourself until the click starts again
- Variable swing feel -- choose how much each subdivision swings
- Play in the background
- Great battery management -- doesn't drain the battery like many other iOS metronomes
- Use iOS multitasking remotes to control playback
- Normalized sounds for good volume
- Embedded manual describing how to use all the features and hints about how they might be useful

Customer Reviews

Metronomics Metronome (5 stars)
Metronomics is the most versatile metronome I've seen. It seems to have an almost endless number of features for customization. The random rhythm option makes this app very unique and fun to practice with. Great for beginners as well as pros!

The most fun you can have with a metronome. (5 stars)
This app replaced my Dr. Beat about a year ago and I haven't looked back. Simple enough for daily practice, limitless customization when you want it, and it keeps getting better with each update.

Best app ever (5 stars)
My sax teacher made this app and it is great it is fun to play with and works great for keeping beat. I use this to practice all the time now.
