Time Guru Metronome vs Metronomics Metronome Usage & Stats

Guitar Player Magazine says: "This ingenious super metronome was developed by funky-as-hell Sco sideman Avi Bortnick. It will leave out beats randomly to force you to strengthen your own inner time-keeping muscles, and it has other cool features for odd meters, drum machine-style patterns, and more... this is an awesome learning, grooving, solidifying tool." Strengthen your inner sense of rhythm! Time Guru is the only metronome with the ability to mute its sound at random, in sequenced patterns, or both, so that you can assess whether you tend to rush or drag or loose your place with odd meters. Time Guru can periodically leave you on your own so that you strengthen your own internal sense of time, rather than relying on the constant, rigid, external time keeping of a metronome. It's like training wheels that sometimes come up off the ground. Time Guru also features: -the ability to play in different time signatures or sequences of time signatures -create rhythmic drum-machine like patterns -save presets for tempo, meter, sound and muting- -35 loud sound sets; -Human or robot voice counting in English, Chinese, French, German or Russian - great for teaching! -tap tempo (5 to 300 BPM range) -super accurate, rock-solid timing via a customized audio engine. And of course it can function as a normal metronome. NoTreble.com says: "I love the aesthetic and layout of Time Guru. It’s very simple and elegant. Time Guru also offers ability to set randomness of your subdivisions (great for testing your internal clock)….There is one thing that Time Guru does that I absolutely love, and for which, this app will always live on my iPhone – at the top of the screen, you will see a series of numbers (1-7). When you press a number, it is set first in a sequence and you can choose a subdivision that will then repeat that number of times (or set it to rest that number of times). Sound confusing? It isn’t, because the layout is so simple. Every time you press a new number, it is set next in the sequence and you choose your continue to choose your subdivisions."

Metronomics Metronome

Metronomics is not only a metronome, but a tool designed to help build a solid sense of time and rhythmic security. It's a new kind of metronome -- use Metronomics to generate random patterns, sequenced grooves, or a combination of both to help you practice with more than just your typical click track. Enough features to keep a professional busy for years or start a beginner on the right track. The only metronome that gives you complete control over how subdivisions are played -- add subdivisions of any type (including custom subdivisions like 5/7) and have them played all the time, at random intervals, or in a sequenced pattern. Now available across platforms for both iOS and macOS -- the most powerful metronome, available for all of your devices. Features: - Choose from 40 different samples for each subdivision - Generate patterns using random or sequenced variations of different subdivisions - Include built-in preset patterns such as claves or ride cymbal patterns - Choose any number of beats per measure (with any denominator) you like or practice mixed meters such as 4/4 + 3/8 + 5/4 where the segments of the bar get accented automatically - Use any type of subdivision. Common types like quarter notes, sixteenth notes, eighth triplets, etc, or create your own. 5/7, 23/4, no problem! - Take a rhythm and use the "offset" feature to move it to different parts of the measure to practice with. - Set the metronome to speed up or slow down by a given amount after a set number of measures - Have Metronomics start with a count off - Set the metronome to run for a certain amount of time - Share saved metronomes back and forth with other Metronomics users - Track your metronome usage. App shows how much you've practiced with it each day and total (optionally turn off time tracking) - Train yourself with "independence" mode where you can set some bars to be inaudible -- keep the time going yourself until the click starts again - Variable swing feel -- choose how much each subdivision swings - Speech sounds for counting up to 10 that can be assigned to any subdivision (English language only) - Play in the background - Normalized sounds for good volume - Manual (plus videos) describing how to use all the features and hints about how they might be useful Pro subscription features: - Wheel view that allows you to visualize the passage of subdivisions with geometric shapes - Grid view that lets you easily sequence patterns on a grid much like a drum machine, but with the more-powerful features of Metronomics - Inspector mode -- graph your own playing with microphone or MIDI input and see how you line up with the metronome - iCloud sync -- sync your saved metronomes via iCloud drive - MIDI output -- set subdivisions to send MIDI data to outside MIDI synths or use an on-board synthesizer Within Metronomics, there is an option to upgrade to Metronomics Pro, which is an auto-renewing yearly subscription service.
