Rethymno, Greece - Indie developer, Nikolas Konstantakopoulos from Granny's Audio, has announced MetroKit 2, a flexible metronome suitable to practice any instrument. Equipped with speed & rhythm trainers, fully customizable beats and accents, and a new unique feature "Track Mode," it can create from simple exercises to the most demanding progressive rhythmic practice exercises. Supporting custom beat divisions, MetroKit 2 can help even the most demanding musicians to go a step further.
MetroKit 2, is an advanced metronome, with lots of new and extra features. It includes 3 modes, "Simple," "Trainer" and "Track."
Simple Mode:
Just set a tempo, time signature and practice over it. You can also set a bar limit, that stops MetroKit when it is reached, in order to practice over specific time.
Trainer Mode:
Speed - Practice your speed and rhythm. Set a starting tempo and a goal tempo, and the increase (or decrease) steps
Rhythm:
MetroKit includes a Rhythm Trainer, that mutes it after a specific number of bars for a user set number of bars e.g. hearing 3 bars and mute 1.
Train your rhythm stability and perception.
The trainers can work together for more difficult rhythm and speed practicing.
Track Mode:
To fully customize your practice, MetroKit introduces a "Track" mode. There, you can add sessions to you overall practice that each one start after the other. For example:
1. Start with a warm up session of a low 90 BPM and simple 4/4 rhythm for 64 bars.
2. Continue with a speed training session to advance the tempo e.g. advance 5 BPM every 4 bars until it reaches 140.
3. Add a rhythm training for 32 bars.
4. Rest for 16 bars at a low tempo practice.
5. etc.
Each session can be a "simple mode" session or a "trainer mode" session.
Extra Features:
* The tempo ranges from a very low 30 BPM to a very fast 480
* Time signature can be up to 32 / 32nds with a lot of variations (9/8, 11/16, 7/4 etc.)
* Every beat can have up to 9 subdivisions allowing very complex rhythms
Every beat's subdivisions are independent, meaning on a 4/4 rhythm, the first beat can have 4 subdivisions (16ths) the second one 5 subdivisions, the third 1(just a quarter note) and so on.
System Requirements:
* OS X 10.6.6 or later
* 34.4 MB
