Metronomics is not only a metronome, but a tool designed to help build a solid sense of time and rhythmic security. Use Metronomics to generate random patterns, sequenced grooves, or a combination of both to help you practice with more than just your typical click track. Enough features to keep a professional busy for years or start a beginner on the right track. Metronomics gives you complete control over how subdivisions are played — add subdivisions of any type (including custom subdivisions like 5/7) and have them played all the time, at random intervals, or in a sequenced pattern. Features: - Choose from a variety of built-in sounds for each subdivision - Generate patterns using random or sequenced variations of different subdivisions - Build drum grooves and use built-in preset patterns such as claves or ride cymbal patterns - Choose any number of beats per measure or practice mixed meters such as 4/4 + 3/8 + 5/4 where the segments of the bar get accented automatically - Use any type of subdivision. Common types like quarter notes, sixteenth notes, eighth triplets, etc., or create your own. 5/7, 23/4, no problem! - Take a rhythm and use the “offset” feature to move it to different parts of the measure to practice with - Set the metronome to speed up or slow down by a given amount after a set number of measures - Have Metronomics start with a countoff - Set the metronome to run for a certain amount of time - Share saved metronomes back and forth with other Metronomics users - Track your metronome usage. See how much you’ve practiced each day and in total, with the option to turn off time tracking - Train yourself with “independence” mode where you can set some bars to be inaudible — keep the time going yourself until the click starts again - Variable swing feel — choose how much each subdivision swings - Speech sounds for counting up to 10 that can be assigned to any subdivision (English language only) - Play in the background - Synchronize with compatible apps and devices using Ableton Link - Normalized sounds for good volume - Manual describing how to use the features and hints about how they might be useful Pro subscription features: - Circle view that allows you to visualize subdivisions as orbiting points - Grid view that lets you easily sequence patterns on a grid much like a drum machine, but with the more powerful features of Metronomics - Inspector mode — graph your own playing with microphone or MIDI input and see how you line up with the metronome - iCloud sync — sync your saved metronomes via iCloud Drive - MIDI output — set subdivisions to send MIDI data to other synthesizer apps or use built-in MIDI sounds - Custom sounds — import your own sounds for subdivisions - Custom time signature denominators — go beyond the usual 2, 4, 8, 16, etc. - Audio export — export metronome patterns as audio files for practice, sharing, or use in a DAW - MIDI export — export metronome patterns with each subdivision on a separate track Within Metronomics, there is an option to upgrade to Metronomics Pro, which is an auto-renewing yearly subscription service.
