I hope many of you will eventually want to buy the Basic or Pro metronomes. You can find out more if you look in the Pro section of this website, the features which are only available in the Pro metronome are clearly marked - see Pro Features.Īlso in the wiki there is a comparision chart of some of the main features in the Free, Basic and Pro metronomes, also listing accessibility - see Comparison Chart.īut the easiest way to find out what is in the free taster is just to download it and try it out and see what it can do - and you can take the Basic and Pro metronomes for a test drive at any time to find out what they can do. There are many other Pro features, but perhaps the ones listed here are the ones most likely to be of interest to a beginner musician.

However, you can adjust any of thebeats individually yourself by hand (ether with click and drag or as numbers for the amount of the accent and the lengths of the notes). You can't change the number of beats in a part or the number of parts by hand.

This used to be left out of the free taser, but it is now included in the free taster as well! Rhythms: The Basic and Pro metronomes have the 'Play then Silent' feature - useful to help you develop your inner sense of tempo independent of the metronome. With the free taster you can adjust the tempo by hand and it is easy to do that while practising using the arrow keys - but it won't adjust itself automatically. The Basic and Pro versions have gradually changing tempo, useful for speed drills or for practising smooth tempo changes.
