Features

Hear it. See it. Feel it. Flummi Metronome turns every beat into something you can sense three ways at once: a click, a bouncing ball, and a haptic tap — so you never lose the beat, even in a loud rehearsal room or with headphones in. The ball falls and rises exactly with the tempo, accelerating on the way down and slowing on the way up, so you can see the beat coming before it lands — not just react after you hear it. The haptic tap is carefully calibrated for precision, firing in sync with the sound and the ball so what you feel, hear, and see always land together — not just close, but on the beat. Features: - Bouncing-ball visual metronome - Precision-calibrated haptic feedback - Three click sounds: Click, Wood, Cowbell - Time signatures from 2/4 to 7/8 - Subdivisions: quarter, eighth, triplet, 16th notes - Latency offset for Bluetooth headphones - Two-bar count-in - Keep-screen-on while practicing - Tempo range from Largo to Prestissimo Simple, precise, and built to keep you exactly on the beat — no matter the situation.
