FlexBeat Metronome vs Skipback AUv3

FlexBeat revolutionizes the traditional metronome by enabling musicians to program and save metric patterns that adapt to many modern music compositions that contain combinations of meters such as 3/4, 5/8 and 7/8. FlexBeat's unique note-style entry and measure numbering system provide ease of use for creating a structured playback of click sounds for multi-metered music. By saving and naming each unique beat pattern, the user can have fast access to their personal collection of practice excerpts. User settings allow optional subdivision clicks, looping of playback, introductory measures, background playback, external Bluetooth audio output, and many combinations of click timbres to meet a musician's individual practicing needs. Mid-pattern access provides easy editing and a flexible playback starting point. While FlexBeat can perform as a traditional metronome, it also has an extremely large tempo range, as the note basis for tempo selection can be set from as short as an eighth note to as long as a dotted half note. Saved patterns can be shared with other FlexBeat users via email - a powerful tool for any size ensemble or classroom. The metronome can be used for teaching advanced rhythms and is an invaluable resource for students and professionals alike. The in-app User Guide is a handy reference for fully utilizing all of the metronome's many capabilities. See our support website for a detailed video demonstration. FlexBeat was designed and developed by a team of experienced, professional musicians who understand the need for an extremely accurate tool for practicing modern repertoire. Users receive a full professional version, with no in-app purchases or advertising.

Skipback AUv3 implements a tool sometimes referred to as retrospective recording, or retroactive recording or capture MIDI, used by musicians, producers, and sound designers on more expensive electronic instruments. It continuously keeps your most recent audio and MIDI performance in memory, so you can recover a great idea - even if you forgot to press Record. Add the Skipback Audio Unit extension to a track in a compatible AUv3 host, or use it to record the microphone in the standalone app, then play as usual. Audio passes through unchanged while Skipback maintains a rolling history of everything routed through it. When inspiration strikes, simply export what you just played. FEATURES • Retrospective audio and MIDI capture • Transparent audio pass-through • Selectable audio history: 10 seconds, 30 seconds, or 1 minute • Selectable MIDI history: 100, 1,000, or 5,000 notes • Export audio as 24-bit WAV • Export MIDI as a Standard MIDI File • Tap to save using the system share interface • Drag exported files directly into supported hosts (Koala Sampler, Helium in AUM, Cubasis, etc.) • Input level meter for monitoring audio • MIDI activity indicator • Compact interface designed to stay out of your way Skipback stores its rolling history in memory and only creates a file when you choose to export. Whether you are improvising, designing sounds, rehearsing a part, or experimenting with a new instrument, Skipback helps preserve the moments you did not know you wanted to record. Never lose a great take because you forgot to press Record. Requires a compatible Audio Unit v3 host. Host capabilities and drag-and-drop support may vary.
