Lakstīgala vs aiMetronome

Šī lietotne ir tapusi kā mūsdienīgāka versija latviešu tautasdziesmu krājumam Lakstīgala, kurā leģendārais kordiriģents Roberts Zuika apkopojis pazīstamākās latviešu tautasdziesmas. Tautasdziesmas saliedēja Roberta Zuikas diriģēto leģionāru kori kara laikā un arī vēlākos gados ASV dzīvojošās latviešu ģimenes nometnēs Garezerā. Tās spēj vienot latviešu tautu jebkuros laikos, tāpēc Zuikas kungs aizvien ir rosinājis bērnus un jauniešus mācīties tautasdziesmas, lai jaunākās paaudzes saglabātu mūsu tautas tradīcijas. Ar labvēļu palīdzību Latvijas skolām un latviešu skoliņām ārzemēs tikušas nosūtītas vairāk nekā 25 tūkstoši krājuma Lakstīgala grāmatiņu. Aizvadītajā gadā Zuikas kungs izteica vēlēšanos, lai tautasdziesmu krājuma grāmatiņa Lakstīgala būtu pieejama 21. gadsimta latviešu jaunatnei piemērotākā veidā, proti, mobilajos telefonos. Projekts tapis atsaucoties uz šo vēlmi un lai vēlreiz pateiktos par Zuikas kunga ieguldījumu latviešu folkloras un mūzikas saglabāšanā un attīstīšanā.

aiMetronome — pro-level metronome features in a one-time purchase, no subscription. Built by a musician, for musicians. New in V2: program whole pieces with Tunes, import MusicXML & MIDI, share with students, jump to any bar, loop sections, and set smooth rit. / accel. ramps. --- TUNES --- A tune is a saved sequence of blocks. Each block has its own time signature, tempo, subdivisions, length in bars, optional rit. / accel. ramp into the next block, optional cesura (silent gap) at its end, and a "count-in" flag for the first block. Rehearse with a click that follows your tempo and meter. --- IMPORT MIDI & MUSICXML --- Drop a MIDI or MusicXML file from any notation app (Sibelius, MuseScore, Dorico, Logic). aiMetronome reads tempo markings, time-signature changes, repeats, voltas, cesuras and fermatas — and builds the tune for you. No more re-typing a 100-bar piece bar by bar. --- SHARE & BACK UP --- Send a single tune (.aitune) or your whole library (.aitunes) via AirDrop, Files, iCloud Drive — any iOS share destination. Great for teachers handing students rehearsal plans, or personal backup. --- PLAYBACK LOOP & JUMP TO ANY BAR --- Long-press a block to set loop start / end — the selected range loops indefinitely until cleared. Or drag the red playhead dot on the main-screen banner to jump to any bar instantly. --- TEMPO --- Accurate from 10 to 300 BPM. Twist the big knob for fast moves. Use the +/– buttons for 1 BPM precision. Tap the centre to set tempo by feel — your taps are averaged, so the BPM settles smoothly instead of bouncing on every tap. New in V2: standalone ritardando or accelerando ramps over any number of beats or measures, from any tempo to any target. --- aiVolume™ --- aiVolume™ listens and adapts the click volume to your dynamic range. • Loud playing: click turns up. • Quiet playing: click backs off. • Volume Boost (10 / 20 s) gives a clearer click for count-ins, then fades back to aiVolume™. The click sits naturally in the background of your music — and disappears in the quiet moments where it would otherwise stand out. • Lessons — backs off during discussion, comes up when you play. • Recording sessions — click goes quiet during exposed passages, less bleed into the mic. • Live performance — rises with stage volume, drops in quiet moments where the audience could otherwise hear it leaking from in-ears. --- TIME SIGNATURES & CLICK SOUNDS --- Set any time signature with the new notation-style picker — numerator over a fraction line, denominator below, just like engraved music. Subdivisions in a simple wheel. Pick a click timbre — Claves, Click, or Beep — or mix them. New in V2: choose any timbre to play at half velocity on non-accented beats — a fuller texture that still tracks the downbeat. --- VISUAL & PRACTICAL --- • On-screen flash, device torch, or both. • Layout adapts cleanly: iPhone SE through Pro Max, every iPad (Split View / Slide Over included). • Works in the background — close the screen, save battery. • Bluetooth output: route click to headphones or speakers. The mic for aiVolume™ stays on your iPhone / iPad, listening to your actual playing in the room. • Screen no longer locks while aiMetronome is on screen. • Clean, dark interface. Important: focus your device's mic 0.5–2 m from the sound source. Don't place the device directly on the instrument (e.g. on a piano body) — it can cause unnaturally high ambient readings and distort aiVolume™'s behaviour. --- NO SUBSCRIPTION, NO IN-APP PURCHASES --- Every feature in this app is included in your one-time purchase. Future updates are free. No "Premium" tier, no per-feature unlock, no ads, no tracking. The metronome you buy stays the metronome you have. --- FROM THE DEVELOPER --- I'm a musician, and aiMetronome started because I waited too long for one that behaved the way I needed. Every feature here exists because it solved a real practice annoyance. Made by a musician, for musicians. ainars
