MetroEye

Read full description

MetroEye is a metronome you can see. An eye at the center of the screen follows every beat and blinks on the downbeat — lock onto the timing with your eyes, not just your ears. ā–  Latency offset — for players in headphones The click you hear is never exactly where the app thinks it is: output latency and touch delay push it off by a fixed amount. MetroEye lets you dial that out in 10 ms steps, right on the play screen, while the metronome is still running. Nudge āˆ’ or + until the click sits where your ear expects it. ā–  Two ways to start Ā· Current Tempo — tap to set any speed on the spot Ā· Preset Tempo — play along to a saved tempo sequence ā–  Preset sequences Group several sections (BPM + time signature) into one preset. While playing, a TAP switches to the next section at the end of the bar. ā–  Play screen TAP and STOP sit one above the other at the same size, so you never hunt for a button mid-take. STOP leaves the screen where it is — press START to resume at the same tempo, or just tap four beats to set a new one. ā–  Fine control Ā· Time signatures: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/8, 7/4 Ā· Subdivisions: quarter, eighth, triplet, sixteenth Ā· Volume ā–  More Ā· 11 languages, auto-selected Ā· Fully offline Ā· Free Ā· No ads Ā· No sign-up See the beat with MetroEye.
