Metronomics

A metronome for real musicians

Metronomics is not only a metronome, but a tool designed to help build a solid sense of time and rhythmic security. It's a new kind of metronome -- use Metronomics to generate random patterns, sequenced grooves, or a combination of both to help you practice with more than just your typical click track. Enough features to keep a professional busy for years or start a beginner on the right track.

The only metronome that gives you complete control over how subdivisions are played -- add subdivisions of any type (including custom subdivisions like 5/7) and have them played all the time, at random intervals, or in a sequenced pattern.

Now available for iOS, macOS, and Android.

Features:

  • Choose from 40 different samples for each subdivision
  • Generate patterns using random or sequenced variations of different subdivisions
  • Choose any number of beats per measure (with any denominator) you like or practice mixed meters such as 4/4 + 3/8 + 5/4 where the segments of the bar get accented automatically
  • Use any type of subdivision. Common types like quarter notes, sixteenth notes, eighth triplets, etc, or create your own. 5/7, 23/4, no problem!
  • Set the metronome to speed up or slow down by a given amount after a set number of measures
  • Share saved metronomes back and forth with other Metronomics users
  • Track your metronome usage. App shows how much you've practiced with it each day and total (optionally turn off time tracking)
  • Train yourself with "independence" mode where you can set some bars to be inaudible -
  • keep the time going yourself until the click starts again
  • Speech sounds for counting up to 10 that can be assigned to any subdivision (English language only)
  • Manual (plus videos) describing how to use all the features and hints about how they might be useful
Not all features available on Android.

Pro subscription features (available on iOS and macOS):

  • Wheel view that allows you to visualize the passage of subdivisions with geometric shapes
  • Grid view that lets you easily sequence patterns on a grid much like a drum machine, but with the more-powerful features of Metronomics
  • Inspector mode
  • Graph your own playing with microphone or MIDI input and see how you line up with the metronome
  • iCloud sync
  • Sync your saved metronomes via iCloud drive
  • MIDI output
  • Set subdivisions to send MIDI data to outside MIDI synths or use an on-board synthesizer
Metronomics is also available for Android and can be found on Google Play.
