Ahns Metronome vs StajPilot

One precision metronome for practice, composition, and the stage. A low-latency native audio engine schedules every tick at the sample level, so the beat never drifts at any tempo. Six metronome modes • Basic — Standard meters like 4/4, 3/4, 6/8, 9/8, 12/8 with 8th/16th/32nd and triplet/sextuplet subdivisions and accents. True 6/8 notation (dotted quarter = one beat). • Advanced — Build patterns slot by slot: accents, off-beats, ghost notes, and rests, with subdivisions, swing, and multi-bar phrases on one screen. Reproduce jazz shuffle, Latin clave, and Balkan rhythms exactly. • Polyrhythm — Any ratio — 2:3, 3:4, 4:5, 5:7 and beyond — with up to four simultaneous tracks. Made for progressive rock, contemporary classical, and African/Indian music. • Metric Modulation — Alternate A/B meters over a shared pulse to shift tempo, from classic modulations (dotted quarter = quarter) to arbitrary ratios. • Mixed — Enter and play songs whose meter changes bar to bar (5/8 → 7/8 → 4/4). Perfect for Stravinsky, metal, and prog-rock. • Visual Pulse — Show the beat as a silent on-screen flash for loud rehearsal rooms or silent practice. Precise tempo control • 20–400 BPM in 0.1 steps via a haptic dial and keypad. • Tap tempo with five calculation methods and a precision readout. • A three-level beat indicator (accent / normal / ghost) shows exactly where you are. Turn practice into progress • Training courses that ramp the tempo automatically up to your goal, built in bars or seconds. • A practice journal that logs every session automatically — and turns any log into a course. Stage and gear • Setlists that save BPM and meter per song and switch with a swipe on stage. • MIDI: a clock master that sends standard MIDI Clock (24 PPQN) to external gear over USB or BLE, with live tempo changes while sending. Practice together • Share courses, presets, and practice logs to the community and download them right from the web. • Create friends and groups to control who sees what. Make it yours • Nine sound sets and distinct accent/normal vibration. • Beat light — flash a single beat or the full screen in any color. • Five themes (Dark, Galaxy, Wood, Sapphire, Plum) and a wide layout for tablets and foldables. • Korean and English. Use the core features right away, no account required. Premium Some advanced features — Training, MIDI, Setlist, and more — are Premium, available via in-app purchase or by watching a rewarded ad.

StajPilot brings two connected workflows to your KEMPER PROFILER: STAJ mode for performance and PILOT mode for editing. It is not just for Player. Supported device profiles include PROFILER Player and MK1/MK2 models such as Stage, Head/Toaster and Rack, with available controls adapted to your hardware and Player level. STAJ MODE: YOUR PERFORMANCE DISPLAY AND CONTROLLER See rig names, effect names and on/off states, bank/slot positions, amplifier information, gain, tempo and pedal Morph status in a clear landscape interface. Switch rigs and supported effects with touch controls. View Effect I-IV assignments and Player FX1/FX2 assignments on the corresponding effect blocks where supported. SONG MODE AND SONG EDITING Organize your own song names, slot labels and sub-labels with multilingual text and emoji support. Song Mode works with Player banks and the Performance slots of supported larger PROFILER models. Quickly choose a song from Song Select, or long-press a song to edit it directly. Manage amp-image assignments alongside your song data. Import and export local Song data, and use the companion web Song Editor on a larger screen. Song labels do not rename rigs on the PROFILER. STAGE 2: PILOT MODE Select an effect block, change its effect type and supported preset, and adjust detailed parameters using knobs, switches, selection lists, a focused slider and direct numeric entry where available. Edit supported RIG, INPUT, AMP, CABINET, OUTPUT and Fixed FX settings. Copy and paste FX settings between blocks and rigs. Save, rename and delete local user FX presets, and choose User or Factory preset sorting. Controls and effect availability follow the selected device and Player level. PILOT mode is unavailable in Browser mode on MK1/MK2. CUSTOM TUNING Use Standard tuning or three editable Custom Tuner profiles with individual E-A-D-G-B-E offsets from -15.0 to +15.0 cents. Rename your profiles and choose the one you need. Custom offsets apply to needle mode, with the standard note/cents reference available for comparison. Needle, decimal needle and strobe displays are available, along with a full-screen tuner option. MORE CONTROL Tap tempo, direct tempo entry, configurable bank limits, amp images and in-app information panels support everyday use. Optional Bluetooth MIDI foot-controller support includes the M-VAVE Chocolate controller and is separate from the wired PROFILER connection. A reserved app MIDI channel can keep app-specific commands from being forwarded to the PROFILER. BEFORE USING PILOT MODE Select the correct device type and Player level in Settings. To keep changes permanently, press STORE on the KEMPER itself. Calibration has been extensively checked and verification continues, but some displayed values may differ from the hardware. Read the in-app PILOT notice before editing. Synchronization combines incoming MIDI data with targeted requests to limit unnecessary traffic; it is not completely bidirectional, so avoid simultaneous editing on the PROFILER while using PILOT mode. CONNECTION AND COMPATIBILITY A compatible KEMPER PROFILER and a reliable USB MIDI data connection are required for hardware control. Supported functions vary by model, firmware and Player level. The app uses USB MIDI, not the proprietary Rig Manager protocol. Core USB functions require no account or subscription. Demo mode lets you explore the interface without hardware. Test your complete setup before an important performance. Hardware, firmware and operating-system changes may affect compatibility.
