Metronomics Metronome

A metronome for real musicians.

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 volume

- 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.

- 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

- Normalized sounds for good volume
