Tap Metronome Expert
Read full descriptionHide full description
A metronome that goes silent to test you. Tap Metronome is a precise metronome, drum machine and gap trainer for guitar, piano, bass, drums, violin, voice and any instrument. No account, no sign-up, no subscription. GAP TRAINER: THE METRONOME THAT MUTES ITSELF Every metronome lets you lean on the click. This one takes the click away. Choose how many bars play and how many bars stay silent: the metronome counts you in, goes quiet, then comes back so you hear whether you sped up, slowed down or lost the bar. Muted beats, silent beats, gap click, whatever you call it, this is how you build a steady inner clock instead of following a sound. PRECISION YOU CAN RELY ON A low-latency audio engine places every beat on the exact audio sample, with no drift even after thousands of bars. Tempo from 41 to 300 BPM, and you can raise the ceiling to 900 BPM in settings for extreme speed practice. TAP TEMPO Don't know the BPM of a song? Tap along and the app works out the tempo. Or tap the BPM display and type an exact number, it applies straight away, without stopping the beat. BEAT PATTERNS AND DRUM MACHINE Build your own bar in the pattern editor: set the time signature, then mark each beat as an accent, a normal beat or a rest. Your pattern appears on the main screen and lights up on every beat, and any edit applies instantly while the metronome keeps playing. SIX STUDIO SOUNDS, EACH WITH ITS OWN ACCENT A classic mechanical metronome, a modern studio click, a wood block, a synthesized drum kit with kick and snare, a synth tone and a beep. Pick the one that cuts through your instrument, hear it as you choose it, and switch without stopping the metronome. HEAR IT, SEE IT, OR FEEL IT Follow the beat on screen, or turn the sound off completely and practise visually. Vibration marks every beat with a stronger pulse on accents, so you can keep time on a loud stage or silently in a shared room. IT KEEPS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND Lock the screen or switch to your sheet music, your tabs or a backing track: the click carries on. It mixes with whatever else is playing instead of cutting it off. And if you would rather leave the screen on while you practise, there is a setting for that too. PRESETS Save, load and delete complete setups: tempo, time signature, pattern and sound. Build one preset per song or per exercise and recall it in one tap. FOR PRACTICE, REHEARSAL AND STAGE Scales, sight reading, drilling a hard passage, band rehearsal, teaching, live performance, and anything else that needs a steady pulse, from running cadence to dance class. Your settings are saved automatically. iPhone and iPad, 18 languages. Every feature is in the free app, gap trainer and vibration included. The one-time purchase only removes the ads.
