Andronome+, Ultimate Metronome

Skrivarna Software

About this app

The musicians metronome - beautiful, simple, professional, accurate.

Andronome+ is designed to keep time, and to do it well. Brilliantly simple in appearance and use, this metronome contains the most precise time engine available. The perfect metronome. No cluttered user interface, no unnecessary bells or whistles but carefully selected features important for the gigging musician and the professional instructor.

Andronome+ 2 adds a lot of powerful features, making it the perfect gig or practice companion:
* Save presets for each song in a playlist and easily swipe your way through the night!
* Keep tempos for your different practice routines.
* Use intro mode for just getting a count-off, then the metronome stays out of your way.
* Gap click practice with the new Ghost mode. This mutes a configurable number of bars to test your ability to stay in the groove.
* Instantly select between 18 included sound packs, featuring percussion sounds, drums, noise and clicks from the most common DAWs (Protools, Ableton, Cubase, FL Studio, Logic, Reason, Sonar, Maschine and the AKAI MPC).
* Randomize tempo for fun practice!

New in the 2.3 beta release are two great new features to try out:
* A BPM detector for live BPM, similar to devices like Tempo Ref or Beat Bug. It listens to what you play, calculates the current BPM and displays a simple graph with the tempo changes.
* A before/behind tool, which shows if you are playing ahead of or behind the beat (or spot on). Remember the old HW, rack mounted, Russian Dragon? This is it, but also showing the history in a neat little graph.
Both these modes are still considered experimental, but feel free to check them out and report any issues!

Apart from all that, the plus version naturally delivers the same features as the standard Andronome:
* Sample-accurate metronome ticks.
* Loud enough sounds, also for real practice environments.
* Clearly visible, great screen indication and...
* ...really large BPM numbers (visible from a distance, e.g when lying on the stage floor).
* Tempo adjustable between 20 and 240 BPM.
* Start and stop via touch screen, hardware buttons, headset.
* Tap tempo directly on screen.

But also:
* Subdivisions (eights, triplets, sixteenths...)
* Selectable time signatures (with first beat accent) from 1 to 15/4.
* As many user presets as your phone memory allows.
* Optional beat vibration.
* Keypad for quick and exact tempo entering.

This metronome is the professional choice, giving the working musician exactly what is needed. As elegant and simple to use as the standard Andronome metronome, but with the extra plus!

Users guide:

There are often several ways to get at the most important functions of the Andronome+ metronome. Most users will prefer to use the touch screen, like this:
* Tap the screen once to start the metronome.
* Tap or long press (touch and hold) the screen to stop the metronome.
* Tap the tempo on the screen, Andronome will adjust to the tapped tempo.
* ...or adjust the tempo by swiping the finger over the screen. Fling or swipe up to increase the BPM, down to decrease.
* Swipe left or right to select preset. Perfect for the gig - like turning a page to get the tempo and feel for the next song.
* Create, name, edit and delete presets in the menu or in the playlist editor.
* Tap the icons on screen to select subdivision, time signature or use the keypad to quickly enter the tempo.
* Tap the lock icon to prevent accidental changes to a preset.
* Sound on/off is controlled in the action bar. Adjust the tick sound using the volume controls of the phone (Andronome+ play through the standard media channel).
* The beat vibrator and the visible indication (screen blink) can be individually enabled and disabled in the action bar.
