Baton Metro vs Programmable Metronome

Baton Metro is metronome using a conductor baton. The animate baton shows the beats as a conductor does. You can turn the sound off, just looking at the baton. There are four kinds of beating sound for you to choose. The iPhone version has a full screen mode. The full screen mode is in landscape format, so you can see clearly the beat. The time can be set from 1/4 to 12/4, the subdivision of the beat can be set from 1 to 4. The tempo value is from 40 to 208. The value is set like a traditional metronome. The tempo setting wheel is imitating the real traditional electronic metronome.

In addition to basic metronome functionality with a flashing visual indicator, this application provides a page of re-programmable buttons that allow frequently used tempos to be saved with a long-press and played back again at a single tap. A group of twelve buttons can be saved and recalled later to facilitate as many sets of tempos as a user could need (button groups can also be deleted with a long-press). On the main page, the user can choose between entering a tempo manually, or tapping in their own beat on the top half of the screen, which the app will use as a tempo. The app also includes two final features: a metric modulation calculator, useful for converting tempos in sheet music that uses metric modulation notation instead of specifying a tempo change in absolute terms; and a tempo watch that can be used to figure out the tempo of a song or beat that is currently playing.
