MetroEye
Read full descriptionHide 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 ā lock onto the timing with your eyes, not just your ears. ā Latency offset ā 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 ā or + until the click sits where your ear expects it. ā Two ways to start Ā· Current Tempo ā tap to set any speed on the spot Ā· Preset Tempo ā 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 ā 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.

See the beat while you practice. Visual Metronome pairs a clear tempo control with 19 animated rhythm scenes, from a classic pendulum to ripples, rings and a pulse orb. PRACTICE AT YOUR PACE Set a tempo from 30 to 300 BPM using the tempo ruler, plus and minus controls, direct number entry, or tap tempo. Choose 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 or 6/8, with quarter notes, eighths, triplets or sixteenths. MAKE THE BEAT YOURS Choose a click sound, adjust volume, and set individual beats to normal, accented or silent. Build a rhythm in the multi-track pattern editor. Mute the click while keeping the visual beat, or enable a haptic pulse on supported devices. BUILD A PRACTICE ROUTINE Use the tempo trainer to move toward a target BPM and the gap trainer to alternate audible and silent bars. Save tempo, meter, accents and sound as presets for your next session. FOCUS ON THE RHYTHM Open a visualizer fullscreen and keep the display awake during playback. Adjust audio delay compensation for your listening setup. No account is required. Settings and presets are stored on your device.
