About

Blink Metronome

Features
Read full description

Blink Metronome is a visually stunning metronome designed for loud stages and dark studios. Instead of a small needle, you'll see a large, blinking circle so you'll never miss a beat. Set the tempo from 10 to 300 and choose the number of beats per bar from 2/4 to 7/4. Classic tempo signatures like Largo, Andante, Allegro, and Presto are included as presets, so you can match the mood of your music with just a tap. The large BPM display and illuminated ring let you know the current beat at a glance. Switch accent colors to match your stage or rehearsal environment.
