RhythmCheck
Read full descriptionHide full description
RhythmCheck helps you improve your timing and hit consistency when practicing on a MIDI drum kit. - The grid view allows you to quickly check the relative timing between hits on different drums. - The Velocity history view lets you focus on playing dynamics. - Includes a basic 'tap-tempo' or fixed metronome. Note : RhythmCheck requires a MIDI drum kit such as those made by Roland, Alesis and others. This must be connected directly to your phone, or to another Mac on the same network. Sadly, it doesn't work with an acoustic kit, or practice pads.
Metronomy
