DrumSmetronome n'est pas qu'un simple métronome : c'est un véritable coach d'entraînement pour aider les batteurs, amateurs ou professionnels, à toujours mieux maîtriser le tempo. Deux modes, deux façons de travailler. MODE SIMPLE : GARDE LE TEMPO Un métronome précis, pensé pour jouer un morceau ou s'échauffer. • Tempo de 30 à 380 BPM, réglable avec le gros bouton PLAY, les boutons – / + ou le TAP TEMPO • 13 signatures rythmiques : 2/2, 3/2, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 7/4, 9/4, 6/8, 7/8, 8/8, 9/8, 12/8 • 9 subdivisions : noires, croches, shuffle, triolets, doubles croches, quintolets, sextolets, septolets et triples croches • 5 réglages d'accent : aucun, sur le 1, sur 1 et 3, sur 2 et 4, ou tous les 3 temps • SETLIST : 20 mémoires pour retrouver en un geste le tempo, la signature, la subdivision et l'accent de chacun de tes morceaux MODE ENTRAINEMENT : MAÎTRISE LE TEMPO Des outils conçus pour travailler la régularité et l'écoute intérieure du tempo. • DÉCÉLÉRATION : le tempo ralentit progressivement, pour t'habituer à tenir la pulsation quand tout change • ACCÉLÉRATION : le tempo accélère progressivement, pour gagner en vitesse sans perdre le contrôle • GHOST CLICK : le click s'efface par moments, de plus en plus souvent, et tu dois garder la pulsation tout seul • GARDE LA PULSE : la pulsation se décale pendant quelques mesures avant de revenir, pour vérifier que tu tiens toujours le temps • Sa propre signature rythmique, indépendante de celle du mode simple POUR QUI ? Pour tous les batteurs et percussionnistes, élèves ou confirmés, ainsi que pour les enseignants qui veulent un outil clair pour travailler le tempo en cours ou à la maison. SIMPLE ET DISCRET • Aucun compte à créer, aucune publicité, aucun achat intégré • Fonctionne sans connexion • Tes réglages et tes mémoires restent sur ton iPhone • Interface en français Conçu par un professeur de batterie pour aider chaque batteur à jouer plus juste, plus régulier et plus sûr de son tempo.
