Choose ready accent groupings for your meter, including 5/8, 7/8, 9/8 and longer patterns, or enter your own groups. Accent, play normally or mute each beat. Choose wood, click, bell or sharp click sounds. Open the clearly labeled Tuner from the Tempo screen. Build practice plans, organize song sections, keep local presets, and share backups or exercise packs.
