Beater vs Polly

Built by a musician for musicians, Beater is a full-featured and compact digital metronome, containing all the features you need to build simple and complex meters. On the Time and Tempo screen, set the overall meter and tempo. Then for more customization, dive into the beats view, where you can select the sound of individual beats, subdivide beats into parts, and turn beats on and off. Beater is accurate down to a single audio sample. The current version of Beater was designed for practicing polyrhythms in addition to standard meters. By setting a fast tempo and 11 beats per measure for example, the user can use a variety of sounds and accents to practice a repeating meter of 4/4 followed by 3/8. Like all my apps, Beater will always be free of ads and in-app purchases!

Polly is designed as a polyrhythm explorer, and also works great as a standard metronome! Use Polly's five tracks for: • Accents • Subdivisions • Polyrhythms • Hypertuplets Each track can be muted, so Polly can provide as much or as little help as you want. Polly is accessible, providing: • Voiceover support • Accessible color theme • Stereo or Mono audio Polly supports your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Mac with: • Background use • Light and Dark modes • Bluetooth Audio • Keyboard shortcuts • Multi-tasking support MIDI Support • Connect Polly on your iOS or iPadOS device to your computer to drive drum kits in your computer's digital audio workstation software • Use Polly on your Apple Silicon Mac to send General MIDI Percussion to your digital audio workstation drum kits • Use Polly to drive MIDI drum machines
