Description
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 across platforms for both iOS and macOS -- the most powerful metronome, available for all of your devices.
Features:
- Choose from 40 different samples for each subdivision
- Generate patterns using random or sequenced variations of different subdivisions
- Include built-in preset patterns such as claves or ride cymbal patterns
- 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!
- 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 count off
- 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. 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
- 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
- Normalized sounds for good volume
- Manual (plus videos) describing how to use all the features and hints about how they might be useful
Pro subscription features:
- 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

Ratings and Reviews
Simply the best
This is hands down the best metronome app out there and a bargain at the price. I've tried lots of them but this came recommended by a friend of mine who is a pro jazz musician and music college teacher.
The ability to play in asymmetric time signatures, have mixed-meter passages and have random bars played silently so you can improve your timing are all fantastic features. There are loads of other cool features; the app can be used as a simple metronome or a complex sequencer, it's down to you.
Furthermore, John Nastos, the creator of this amazing app, has always responded to feedback I've given, fixing occasional bugs I've found and making improvements.
Fantastic, keep up the good work! Thanks!
More than a metronome
As a percussionist who plays congas, most metronomes leave much to be desired. The extreme flexibility of metronomics is in another league. More of a drum sequencer than a metronome . Even with a couple of minor bugs (quickly sorted by the developer) well worth 5 stars!
Fantastic
This app is just the bees knees - all singing all dancing. The very slight downside is it takes a while to find your way around it - for me anyway, but well worth the effort!
