Multi Sound Metronome

Read full description

Multi Sound is a calmer, more flexible metronome for musicians who want practice to feel less mechanical. Build a pulse where every beat can have its own sound and color, tap the circle to match a song's tempo, save song-ready setlists, track bars and beats during practice, and tune without leaving the app. Features: - Multi-sound beat palette for accents, alternates, cascades, and custom pulse textures - Tap tempo circle that recalibrates BPM from your taps - Classic tick plus calm, water, glass, wood, jewelry, and meditation-inspired sounds - Named setlists for songs, drills, and practice packs - Practice counter for elapsed time, bars, and beats - Built-in chromatic and instrument tuner - Private feedback form sent through the app's secure backend Core metronome features stay free. Multi Sound Plus adds optional monthly support for deeper practice tools as they roll out.
