Features
With Fine Metronome you can design your own beat patterns or use preset ones. A pattern is a combination of accented beats and normal beats. For example, 'Take Five' time signature is 3+2, or X-x-x-X-x visually. (The bar's first beat can be emphasized by a bell sound).
If you wish to type in the tempo value, click on the big numbers on the display and the Tempo dialog appears. Notice a small calculator button -- it can help you, say, divide your tempo by 2.
The metronome is controlled using mouse or the hotkeys, as follows:
* Enter--tap the tempo (measure Beats-Per-Minute, BPM);
* Space--start/stop the metronome ( Ctrl,Alt,Space--global hotkey);
* Up/Down Arrow--increase or decrease the tempo value by one;
* PageUp/PageDown--increase or decrease the tempo value by ten.
The sound quality matters very much, so we have included a dozen of carefully chosen samples, with the ability to set up your own sounds and adjust their volume precisely.
Visual cues can also be very helpful while playing. The Beat Indicator is a separate sticky window that splashes at every beat.
