Yes, there are tons of Metronome apps out there, but no, none are like this. Simply, it is a Metronome you can use to flash a tempo. Unlike the other apps, this is full screen, so you can see it with your peripherals. This is perhaps the most simple and useful app that musicians have never used before. Why use it? Because when you play music, you should be listening to the music. Not a metronome. Not only can it be drowned out by sound, but it also can be distracting. - Change your BPM (with decimal precision) - Change your Time Signature - One color for the background and use up to 3 colors for beats - Customizable beat patterns (like 1,2,2,2,1,2,2,3 or 1,2,1,1,2) - Simple, easy to use controls. Tap to start. Tap to stop. Nuff said. No, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles as some of the other ones. But it has a certain utility like no other.

Read full description

This is a set of Audio Units including Loopback, Vocoder, Pitch Shifter, and Noise Suppression. A host application that can handle Audio Units is required for use. Loopback (In/Out/MIDI/Mixer): Connects to each other and transfers audio between host applications. MIDI signals can also be transferred. Please note that you might not do the recording inter app. Vocoder: This effect processes the sound of a synthesizer or other carrier with the input sound (modulator) and outputs it. It creates a so-called robot voice by inputting a voice or other sound. By default, Saw (sawtooth wave) is specified as the carrier, but it can also be input from a sidechain or Vocoder Input Audio Unit. Pitch Shifter: An effect that changes the pitch of the sound. Noise Suppression: A noise removal filter using RNNoise. This machine learning filter is optimized for voices. Gainer: An effect for adjusting the volume.
