BitBeat is a retro-inspired drum loop metronome designed to make music practice more fun. Features: - Animated Pixel Drummer: Watch your 8-bit companion jam on the kit in sync with your chosen BPM and rhythm pattern. - Interactive Drum Fills: Tap the drummer left/right to trigger drum fills! Bring classic Casio-style fill-ins into your practice session. - Classic Drum Loops: Lock into distinct chiptune drum patterns and rhythm variations instead of a plain click. - 8 Time Signatures: Move beyond basic 4/4 time! Easily switch between 8 different time signatures to practice complex meters and unusual grooves. - Full-Screen Color Pulse: The screen changes color on every beat, giving you high-contrast visual timing cues in your peripheral vision while playing. - Precision Tempo Control: Set your BPM from 40 to 240 using quick-adjust buttons (+1, -1, +5, -5, +10, -10). - Smart Tap Tempo: Match the beat of any song or rhythm using responsive tap-tempo detection. - Auto-Save: Automatically saves your last BPM and drum beat settings so you can jump straight back into practice next time. Built for musicians who want more than just a ticking sound to keep time, BitBeat pairs precise audio/visual tempo cues with nostalgic drum machine charm. Set your tempo, play some fills, and bring your practice to life!
