Metronomics is not only a metronome, but a tool designed to help build a solid sense of time and rhythmic security. 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.
Metronomics 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.
Features:
- Choose from a variety of built-in sounds for each subdivision
- Generate patterns using random or sequenced variations of different subdivisions
- Build drum grooves and use built-in preset patterns such as claves or ride cymbal patterns
- Choose any number of beats per measure 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!
- Take a rhythm and use the “offset” feature to move it to different parts of the measure to practice with
- Set the metronome to speed up or slow down by a given amount after a set number of measures
- Have Metronomics start with a countoff
- Set the metronome to run for a certain amount of time
- Share saved metronomes back and forth with other Metronomics users
- Track your metronome usage. See how much you’ve practiced each day and in total, with the option to 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
- Variable swing feel — choose how much each subdivision swings
- Speech sounds for counting up to 10 that can be assigned to any subdivision (English language only)
- Play in the background
- Synchronize with compatible apps and devices using Ableton Link
- Normalized sounds for good volume
- Manual describing how to use the features and hints about how they might be useful
Pro subscription features:
- Circle view that allows you to visualize subdivisions as orbiting points
- 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 other synthesizer apps or use built-in MIDI sounds
- Custom sounds — import your own sounds for subdivisions
- Custom time signature denominators — go beyond the usual 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.
- Audio export — export metronome patterns as audio files for practice, sharing, or use in a DAW
- MIDI export — export metronome patterns with each subdivision on a separate track

Metronomics has been a mainstay metronome for my practice sessions over the past 6 or 7 years. As it is designed by a practicing musician who is excellent at his craft, it is intuitive and fun to use. The app features sliders similar to physical metronomes, allowing for quick adjustments to rhythmic subdivisions. Tap tempo is as easy as tapping the tempo number. Time signatures of any type are easy to manipulate and add accents/subdivisions.However, my favorite feature is the complete control of sounds. Want a bass drum on the downbeat and tambourine on the upbeat? Cowbell on downbeats with an occasional clave upbeat? These are just the beginning.Download this fantastic app now and get to practicing!
Less cowbell

This metronome has some many options I haven’t been able to change the preset cowbell to a click. So I emailed the people and they got back to me very quickly. Here is their response :“On the Settings screen, you can access the settings for the downbeat. There is also an option to show the downbeat on the main screen like the other subdivisions.”
Nothing Else Around

The Metronomics IOS app lets me take the functionality of Metronomics with me wherever I go. Before getting this app I had no idea that making complex rhythms could be this easy and efficient. And once they are constructed, I can practice them as much as I wish. This app has the functionality of a metronome but it is so much more than that. I highly recommend this to anyone in any stage of their musical journey.

Thank you so much for the kind review!
Failed to give click after update
Eoz@@
UPDATE: Kudos to Metronomics team, they fixed the problem as fast as Coltrane playing Giant Steps!! —————//-//////I’m on a 5S with ios 12.4.1, and after updating the app, it just stopped working. The app opens up regularly yet when I tap on start nothing happens, no click. Demanding a fix to this.
