Metronome Step
Auto bpm increasing metronome
$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Now with MIDI out — every beat triggers your drum machine, sampler, or another app, while Metro Step steps the tempo up bar by bar.
Automatically increase your metronome speed as you practise.
Metro Step is a metronome designed to help you build accuracy and speed when practising scales, licks, and chord progressions. Start slow to eliminate mistakes, then increase speed gradually. With accuracy comes speed.
Metro Step automatically increases the tempo based on your settings. Choose how long you want to practise and how quickly the tempo should increase. Smaller BPM increments are recommended for better control.
You can set tempo increases of 1–5 BPM over 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, or 64 bars. The tempo increases automatically, allowing you to focus entirely on practising without interruptions.

MIDI OUT
Metro Step can now trigger your gear. Every beat sends a MIDI note, so a drum machine, sampler, or another app on your phone plays along while the tempo steps up.
• Tap MIDI in the top row to turn it on — the button shows how many devices are listening
• Pair a Bluetooth MIDI device, or plug one in over USB
• Or connect to a Mac over Wi-Fi with Network MIDI — no pairing needed
• Other apps on this device see Metro Step as a MIDI source, no cable needed
• Hold the MIDI button to choose drum or wood block notes, and channel 10 or 1
FIXES
• The metronome no longer goes quiet after unplugging headphones or disconnecting a Bluetooth headset
• Deleting a preset no longer closes the app
