SubPulse vs Tactus Rhythm

Basic metronomes just keep time. SubPulse trains it. SubPulse is the only metronome with named training methods used by world-class musicians — and it's 100% free. No subscriptions, no ads, no account. Forever. THE TABLE OF TIME — THE JOE MORELLO METHOD The legendary practice system of Joe Morello, the drummer behind "Take Five". At each BPM level, SubPulse automatically cycles through subdivisions — quarters, eighths, sixteenths, triplets — then increases the tempo and repeats. No other metronome can do this. PUSH-PULL — TRAIN BOTH DIRECTIONS Most musicians only practice speeding up. Push-Pull alternates tempo increases AND decreases, so you build genuine tempo control instead of unconscious rushing. Unique to SubPulse. AUTO PROGRESSION — BUILD SPEED ON AUTOPILOT Set your starting tempo and your goal. SubPulse increases the BPM gradually while you stay in the flow state.

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.
