Practice Metronome app for iPhone and iPad

Simple to use practice metronome with automatic tempo increase feature.

Hands free tempo speedup for learning difficult solo passages. Start slow and speed up gradually.

Audio and visual feedback.

Tap the Speaker button to mute/unmute audio. Use the mute and visual feedback for recording live acoustic performances.

Tap the Big Blue button to start or stop.

To adjust parameters in the lower half of the screen, drag or tap. Drag vertically starting in the vicinity of a parameter to adjust a larger range. Tap to the right or left of a parameter to adjust up or down by one unit.

Tempo will automatically increase from Tempo to Final Tempo. The rate of increase is defined by the Autoincrease parameter. Bars to Loop defines how many bars to play at the current tempo.

For example: set Tempo to 90, Final Tempo to 120, Auto increase to 20%, Bars to Repeat to 8 and Meter to 4/4. After a one bar count-in, the metronome will play for 8 bars (32 beats) at 90 bpm, then increase the tempo to 96 (20% of 120-90), play 8 bars again, increase tempo to 102… until tempo is 120. Then it will continue at tempo 120 until tap to stop. Stop will set the tempo back to 90.

Tempo range - 20 to 208 beats per minute. Tempo is expressed as beats per minute regardless of the meter settings.

Meter can be specified as any combination of 1 to 12 in the upper value in 2, 4, 8, and 16 in the lower value. If the upper value is 6, 9 or 12 then the meter is interpreted as compound meter (i.e., 6, 9 and 12 are interpreted as 2, 3 and 4 beats per bar, respectively.

Parameter adjustments have limitations. If a parameter does not respond to tap or drag, then it is already at its limit.

Final Tempo cannot be less than Tempo. Any Tempo adjustment greater than Final Tempo will cause an automatic adjustment in the Final Tempo to match.

The note duration part of the metronome mark next to the Tempo field is automatically set by the meter parameters. So any attempt to adjust it directly will not be responsive.

If Autoincrease is 0, then the right side parameters are greyed out. The parameters are still adjustable, but have no effect on the metronome tempo.

Current settings are saved on exit.
