Poly Metronome is a powerful tool that helps you master both daily practice and stage performance. At the heart of the app lies our extremely precise, studio-quality metronome.
The free version is packed with features. We feature 10 different metronome tones and 8 different polyrhythm tones.
Poly Metronome is all about customization. Change beat tones, accents, and even the dynamics of your rhythm (“f”, “mf”, “p” and “mute”). The Pro Version unlocks even more features including subdivisions and polyrhythm settings. Create complex patterns with triplets, dotted notes and non-standard time signatures.
The app supports several ways to experience beats. The free version of the app includes Sound, Visual, Flash, Vibrate Modes. Visual and Vibrate Modes are great when you’re playing loud instruments or when you need to FEEL the beat. Flash Mode uses the device’s camera flash to sync up the entire band easily.
Poly Metronome doesn’t just help you keep time, it also helps you train. Poly Metronome built the Coach Trainer which mutes a selected bar in the beat, allowing your brain to fill in the gap and thus train your innate sense of timing. It’s a simple, heavily requested idea not found in any other app to date.
Poly Metronome also supports a host of secondary features: background play mode, in-app volume adjust and even the ability to save song/tempo setlists. It’s a powerful, elegant and intuitive app – a must for the modern musician.
