You can also easily adjust the number of beats per measure as needed. Need to adjust the tempo? It couldn’t be easier! Simply move the slider - that ranges from 20 to 260 BPM - to your desired tempo. You may also use the ‘+’ & ‘-’ buttons for more precision. To make things even easier, you can immediately find the tempo you’re looking for by tapping the rhythm on the “TAP tempo / tempo finder / TAP BPM” button. The tempo speed is shown in BPM (Beats per Minute) & also shows you the corresponding Italian term (allegro, presto, moderato…), which can be useful if you need to figure out the tempo written on sheet music for example. You can also manage your practice session by setting a fixed time using the adjustable chronometer! Want more variety? Change the time signature to work with different rhythms such as shuffle or tresillo! Just select whichever preset you need. And the best part? This metronome is 100% free and without ads! Learning music takes time & concentration, so we don’t want to interrupt your work or play sessions with unnecessary ads or popups!
