Gig Bag Apps Releases Version 2 of Click Metronome for iPhone - Published on 07/21/14

Gig Bag Apps today announces Click Metronome, version 2. This update brings Click into the modern iOS era with an all new look and feel. There's no single more important tool for a musician than a good metronome, and Click is the perfect metronome for practice room or stage. Multiple visualization modes bring a unique dimension to the iPhone metronome world, including a beat counter, flash, traditional pendulum, and full screen modes for total focus.

Springfield, Illinois - Gig Bag Apps, makers of popular drum reference app theDrumDictionary and Click Metronome for iPhone, are pleased today to announce the release of Click Metronome version 2. This new version represents a complete redesign of the look and feel of Click and brings it into the modern iOS era. While keeping all the features of the original Click Metronome, version 2 takes a cue from the new Apple design philosophy and tightens its focus even further on minimizing on-screen controls in order to provide large, clear visual feedback.

The vast majority of time using a metronome is not spent adjusting settings but in practicing or playing along to the metronome, and Click Metronome is a tool that aligns with these priorities. Multiple visualization styles and a special full screen mode make Click Metronome unique in a crowded world of iPhone metronome apps. Click provides flexible features such as a wide tempo range, a large selection of time signatures, plus many other audio and visual options, all while maintaining an emphasis on clear visualization. A metronome has one job - to help a musician practice and play in time - but this can be accomplished in many different ways.

Click stands apart from other iPhone metronomes as the first to offer many visualization options in one app: a large beat counting display or fullscreen flash, along with the more traditional "pendulum" look, with and without beat counting. Once set to the desired tempo, time signature, etc., Click can enter into a fullscreen mode, making it easily visible from a music stand or even from across the stage. "Click Metronome version 2 takes the flexibility and ease-of-use of the original and combines it with a brand new modern interface for an even more focused and enjoyable experience. Click 2 marks another step toward the goal of minimizing UI in deference to the visualization, so that musicians can focus on what's most important: making music," said Gig Bag Apps founder, Ryan Dillon.

Click also provides the flexibility needed to adapt to a wide variety of musical needs and styles. With a tempo range from 10 to 400 beats per minute, it can provide a steady tempo for everything from slowly practicing tricky passages to keeping a band together during even the most fast paced up-tempo jazz pieces. 21 time signatures are available in total, including all of the basic essentials as well as odd groupings like 5, 7, or 11 beats per measure. Click can also play subdivisions within a beat, such as eighth notes, triplets, shuffles, or sixteenth notes. And for those looking for a more musical sound, subdivisions can be played softer to make sure the main beat is heard loud and clear. Tap tempo functionality allows for easy detection and synchronization with an external music source. Its solid, accurate audio engine maintains perfect tempo, even while switching among time signature and subdivision options.

"Whether on the stage or in the practice room, Click gives musicians the flexibility they need to play in a variety of musical styles, all while providing large, easy-to-see visual feedback," stated Ryan Dillon. "And now, with Click, musicians are not locked into a single visual style but can purchase one app and get everything from a number display for help counting out complex rhythms to a simple flashing screen for easy viewing on a music stand." Click offers musicians a powerful, flexible metronome, but without all the clutter that is so common to this category of apps. In the admittedly crowded iPhone metronome app space, Click stands apart with its highly flexible visuals and modern interface designed from the ground up for iOS 7 and beyond.
