Metron was developed by a classically trained musician, not only to be used as a traditional straightforward metronome, but also to aid in the practice of scales, runs, excerpts and even complete compositions, with changing tempi and meters if called for.
Requires iOS 4.0 or later.
" As any professional classical musician knows, a metronome is an every day tool. Before this app I was unable to find a stable software metronome. The others always have a hiccup or some other disturbance to the beat that makes them practically unusable. Not this one; this is as stable as your Dr. Beat. "
J.G. USA" This app goes way beyond basic functions, to boot. You can even program this for changing meters. Finally I can practice music that changes from all kinds of meters with different beat lengths with a metronome. This was designed by a pro musician and it shows. "
J.G. USA" Having experimented with various different metronomes over the years, I can honestly say that this is the only one that "does what it says on the tin". […] Metron is easy to program and use. It can be programmed to play x bars at y tempo followed by x bars at z tempo, it has a good choice of click sounds and can be set to whatever time signature you need. Why didn't somebody do this years ago. "
Steviedrum United Kingdom" I really didn't understand what was so unique about this app until I bought it and started playing with it. It's not JUST a metronome with a dizzying array of options, it's a fully programmable rhythm sequencer. […] Brilliant! "
GnuUser USA" It's official. With this app, my iPhone has finally become my perfect music studio. "
tontonwonwon USAMetron offers a high precision playback engine to ensure a stable and accurate beat at all times. A bar based sequencer allows pre-programming of multi-bar excerpts and even entires compositions. It facilitates bringing scales or difficult runs up to speed by the ability to steadily in crease the tempo by any amount every beat, every bar or on every repeat of a sequence. You can program intricate rhythms for practice, using traditional western music notation. Metron also incorporates a versatile pitch pipe.
Traditional metronome practice is easy: set a tempo, press the start button and start practicing. You can even make the tempo speed up or slow down right on the front panel.
The default beat sounds included in Metron were designed to be heard even over loud music and in noisy places. An ample choice of alternate beat sounds should cater to most anyone's wishes.
Metron implements a low-level playback engine that ensures rock-steady performance, even when the device's screen is locked.
Create setlists to easily navigate predefined sets of sequences. Metron can even auto-advance sequences in a setlist, making it a useful on-stage tool.
