Bring beauty to your practice. Fluid Metronome is a new kind of music practice app that combines fluid art with a metronome. Visuals ripple like water in time with the beat, and when you connect a MIDI keyboard, every note you play spreads across the screen as a colorful wave. Fluid Metro does more than keep tempo — it lets you experience sound and motion as one. It transforms everyday practice into something more engaging, more immersive, and more beautiful. Key Features ◆ Beats That Sound Like Water Instead of a typical mechanical click, Fluid Metro uses sounds inspired by water drops. Multiple tones play at random, with subtle changes in stereo position and volume, creating a pleasant rhythm that never feels monotonous. ◆ Fluid Art That Responds to the Beat Fluid visuals spread beautifully across the screen in response to each beat. Switch between calm atmospheres and dynamic displays to match your mood and preference. ◆ See Your Playing with MIDI Support Connect a MIDI keyboard and watch your notes appear as ripples in real time. Differences in pitch and velocity are expressed visually, making your performance part of the art. ◆ Feel Your Timing at a Glance The relationship between your playing and the beat is shown through color changes. Practice while visually checking timing that may feel correct but still drift from the beat. ◆ Wireless-Friendly Built-in latency compensation for Bluetooth headphones helps you play more naturally in wireless environments. ◆ Designed for Focused Practice Tap to play or stop, and your settings are saved automatically. Hide the menu and focus on nothing but the beat and the flow. Key Functions Wide tempo adjustment range Multiple time signatures Accent beat support Switchable fluid visuals Real-time MIDI visualization Timing feedback display Bluetooth latency compensation Auto-save for all settings
