## What is Beat Vibe?

A programmable vibrating metronome/beat box with a flamenco clock display. The only metronome that lets you practice Subida (tempo change) and share rhythms online.


Beat Vibe is both a vibrating metronome and a programable beat machine aimed at both the flamenco player and non flamenco musician. Beat Vibe is pre-programmed with over 50 rhythm patterns from all major palls such as Bulerias, Alegrias, Tangos and more, including non-flamenco rhythms like Samba, Bosa Nova, Rock, Raggae and many more. You can easily program your own rhythm patterns, share them online, and download from the many rhythm patterns other users have shared.

The unique "Song Mode" lets you set a sequence of rhythm patterns to play, setting the number of repetitions and tempo. You can create rich percussion loops or practice change of tempo (subida)!

Features:
• Fully programmable, you can program rhythms of up to 16 beats, with precise off beat placement.
• Play a sequence of patterns to create rich songs optionally changing tempo.
• Online database with user generated rhythm patterns.
• Multi-track. Play multiple sound samples.

### 1/5 — Useless now

*2026-02-02*

This was my go to app for flamenco practice. I bought the full version years ago. Now, the full version became the free version and it’s not working anymore. Also, the “free” version, after update, is so bad that there’s no incentive to re-purchase it. So disappointing!

### 5/5 — 家での練習に最適

*2021-10-19*

重宝しています。シンプルな操作性でありながら、速さを感覚的に自由に変えられるので良いです。今までDr.コンパスを始め何種類かのアプリを試しましたがこちらの方が使いやすく実用的だと思いました

### 5/5 — Toll!!

*2021-01-01, version 4.4.3*

ein kleines, sehr feines Metronome für Flamencogitarristen. Ich bin hochzufrieden....

### 5/5 — Compas training

*2019-12-07*

The biggest reason why I love this app is because i can visualize the timing and anticipate the accents (3,6,8,10,12) This app while simple but very easy to use has helped me get my Flamenco up to speed and hopefully synchronized with other Flamenco players from Spain.

### 5/5 — Ole!

*2019-12-04, version 4.4.3*

Hmm... surprised to see so very few reviews here for this little gem.

Anyway this app is great value as a study aid for flamenco guitar (not least since its leading competitor on PC retails for several hundred bucks!)

You can choose from a wide range of preset rhythms: From simple 4/4 cycles to complex asymmetric flamenco compasses. Or else just tailor-make your own versions.. Also very good for setting up rhythm exercises to hone your techniques on.

Nice authentic-sounding flamenco percussion audio to choose from (quite varied palmas, cajon, castanet sounds etc.)

The main downside is the editing UI can get a little buggy -  so sometimes awkward to label new files. 

Still, excellent value!

### 5/5 — Practice anywhere

*2019-07-05*

This app makes it easy to practice anywhere. The audio is good. And it is very easy to use.

### 5/5 — Good

*2019-01-21, version 4.4.3*

Good simple good interface keep the good work!

### 5/5 — A great app!

*2016-08-31*

普段はIAAに対応したiPad版を使うことが多いですが、このiPhone版はフラメンコメトロノームのパイオニア的存在で気に入っています（ただしIAAやAudiobusには未対応）。

### 2/5 — App is Broken

*2015-07-11*

In iOS 8.4 the App has no audio and displays the error "Audiobus initialization problem" on launch.

### 1/5 — Steer clear

*2015-04-07, version 4.4.0*

The beats werent really as realistic as advertised, the app in generally is quite messy and disorganised, turned the help off button and still get a whole bunch of little yellow pop up bubbles teaching me what is what over and over again everytime i use the app. In general was expecting more for the price tag, steer clear
