About

Tactus Rhythm

Features
Read full description

Tactus is the metronome for musicians who mean it. Beyond a simple click, Tactus lets you build real rhythmic sequences: sections with accelerando and ritardando, tempo and time signature changes, beat subdivisions (eighths, triplets, sixteenths, dotted eighth, sextuplets), and configurable count-in. With "Describe in words" you can dictate or type a sequence in natural language — "120 bpm for 8 bars, then accelerate to 160 over 16" — and Tactus turns it into a ready-to-play rhythmic plan. Study mode automatically raises the tempo every few repetitions, so you can drill a passage up to your target tempo hands-free. KEY FEATURES • Metronome with synthesized and sampled sounds (wood, stick, tick, glass) • Sequences with fixed, accelerando and ritardando sections • Beat subdivisions: quarters, eighths, triplets, sixteenths, dotted eighth, sextuplets • AI dictation and text-to-sequence generation • Progressive-tempo study mode • Vibration and screen flash synced to the beat • Library to save your sequences • English and Italian interface • Native app for iPhone and Mac TACTUS PRO A one-time purchase unlocks AI dictation and writing, study mode, advanced subdivisions, unlimited library, and removes ads. No account required. Your data stays on your device.
