A metronome for better practice.

Timer, Tempo Sprints, Tempo Steps, Tap Tempo, Time/Beat Based

I spend a lot of time practicing, and over the years I found myself missing a metronome that really supports the way I work.

Features:

– Timer: The timer can stop the metronome after a defined interval.

– Tempo Sprints: The metronome can increase the tempo automatically over time. You define a starting tempo and the size of the tempo steps.

– Tempo Steps: Tempo can be in stepped scaling like on traditional mechanical metronomes.

– Tap Tempo: Tap the desired tempo directly.

– Adjustable Click Sounds

– The timer can operate in seconds/minutes or beats/bars

– Clear Read-Outs for tempo and remaining time

Parameters:

Pads:

– Run — Starts or stops the metronome
– Tap Tempo — Sets the tempo by tapping
– Tempo− — Decreases the tempo by one step
– Tempo+ — Increases the tempo by one step

Knobs:

(from top left to bottom right)

– Tempo: 30–240 BPM in stepped scaling. For continuous setting press the Shift button while cranking the knob.
– Timer Modes
– Infinite — Runs continuously until stopped
– One Time — Stops after one timer cycle
– Accel 1–4 — Increases the tempo by 1–4 steps after each timer cycle
– Timer Duration: Length of the timer cycle
– Counting Mode: if the Timer Duration is displayed in seconds/minutes or beats/bar
– BPB (Beats per Bar): Defines after how many beats the bar accent is played.
– Beat / Bar / Stop: MIDI notes used for the three click signals. When the Shift is pressed while cranking the knob the notes will be audible and are displayed in a finer resolution.
– Chan: MIDI channel used for transmitting the click notes
– Sync: Internal/Host

XY Pad:

– Y Axis: Controls click volume via MIDI velocity.
– X Axis: Controls the accent strength of bar clicks relative to normal beats.

Setup in AUM

Click Sounds:
To produce sound, the metronome must be connected to an instrument — preferably one that generates short percussive sounds, such as a drum machine. The transmitted MIDI notes and channel can be configured directly in the metronome.

Host Sync:

To allow the metronome to control the host tempo, create the following mappings in:

AUM → MIDI CTRL → Transport

– CC 103 (Channel 16) — Tap Tempo
– CC 127 (Channel 16) — Tempo Changes

Also make sure the Mozaic instance is routed to the target MIDI Control destination in AUM.
