Read full description

ClickRig™ is a metronome with a customizable rhythm mixer, presets, and setlists for iPhone and iPad. AT PRACTICE, ON STAGE, & IN STUDIO. Craft the click for the part you're working on, then save the settings for your next session or song. BUILD YOUR RHYTHM Adjust tempo with a slider, one-BPM or ten-BPM steps, or Tap Tempo. Set up to 16 beats per bar. Follow visual beat indicators with a distinct first-beat accent. Add eighth-note or sixteenth-note swing, or use the halftime option. MIX THE LAYERS Control six rhythm channels: Beat, Quarter, Eighth, Sixteenth, Triplet, and Other. Each channel has its own volume, mute, and stereo panning. Choose from multiple sounds. Double-tap a pan control to return it to center. CRAFT YOUR CLICKS. SAVE YOUR SETLISTS. Store metronome settings as presets. Build setlists of named songs, each with a complete copy of its metronome settings. Create, rename, duplicate, and delete setlists; arrange, rename, update, or remove songs. MOVE THROUGH YOUR SET Select a song while stopped to load its settings and wait for START. Select another song during playback to queue the change for the end of the current bar. Layouts adapt to iPhone and iPad, with portrait and landscape orientations and light and dark modes. Background playback lets the click continue when the app is in the background. An included manual explains the controls. Presets and setlists are stored locally. ClickRig has no developer-operated server, analytics, or advertising.
