Description
A musically visual metronome that inspires musical expression rather than mechanical execution. When practicing with this metronome, the animated beat patterns will reinforce the peripheral vision used when following a conductor.
Be able to practice without the click, while keeping to a strict tempo. Always know where you are INSIDE the beat with the traditional musical beat patterns developed over ages of musical performance practice, not an arbitrary circle or side to side motion for all meters and styles.
This metronome is an invaluable learning tool for conductors when using the Conductor's Point of View.
All the conducting patterns are based on Max Rudolf's "Grammar of Conducting" and my professional conducting experience of 20+ years.
Instructions:
Double tap to start. Swipe horizontally or pinch to stop.
Long Press triggers Tap Tempo, tap anywhere more than twice to set the tempo. Then wait and it will start conducting.
Apple Watch Support:
On the Apple Watch, view animations from 1 through 12 beats (time signatures). Adjust the tempo with the crown or by sliding on the animating pattern or the setting tempo bar.
Features:
• Adjust the tempo, 16 to 256 bpm, by dragging up/down anywhere, using the + and - buttons, or by tapping it via Tap Tempo
• 48 different beat patterns (meters): 1 through 12(3+3+3+3)
• Staccato, Neutral, Legato, and Reduced (see below) pattern styles
• Patterns are displayed from the Performer's or Conductor's Point of View
• Optional 2, 3, or 4 subdivisions of the beat
• Set 0, 1, or 2 'pick-up' beats (get playing quicker)
Preferences:
• Choose from 16 pairs of 'tick and 'tock' sounds
• Customizable colors of the baton, pattern and texts
• Customizable transparencies of the beat pattern and background image
A note about pattern variations and reductions:
A 5/4 bar can be divided either 3+2 or 2+3 depending on the music.
The 'Reduced' style:
At faster tempos, a legato 3 pattern turns into a one pattern while still clicking the three beats. A 6(2+2+2) changes into 3 while a 6(3+3) changes into 2 while still clicking 6 beats.
The Automatic Reduction setting automatically adjusts the pattern when the tempo reaches a level that requires it. Switching the Reduced Pattern switch on, forces the reduced pattern at all tempos.
Conductor's Point of View - automatically flips the beat pattern for conductors to learn and practice the patterns. This mode shows you the path the tip of your baton should take while conducting.
Performer’s Point of View - the conductor’s beat pattern as seen from the ensemble musicians. Recommended view while practicing your instrument.
Supports all orientations for easier use while plugged in.

Danny4220,
Baton styles?
Greetings developers! I was wondering if perhaps different styles could be implemented instead of just a weird looking ball. How about a small dot which is the same diameter as the line? Maybe a trailing path that fades option? Also a larger, more visible “start” “stop” button would be nice. Thank you so much, your work is greatly appreciated!

Basic Features, Only
Pros:
- Conducts in 3 different kinds of styles with an option to reduce the pattern (as if in half-/cut-time).
- Offers a variety of patterns that accommodate quarter-note patterns.
Con:
* Cannot use the eighth note for the beat. This means that, if you want to get a 7/8 pattern at 180bpm, you will have to settle for a 7/4 pattern that tops out at 120bpm in 7/8. That said, this is NOT a viable tool for practicing asymmetrical compound meters.
If this changes, my review will change to 5 stars. The aforementioned feature could be extremely beneficial for visually keeping up with quick meters (which is something with which a lot of people struggle when moving from high school literature to collegiate literature).
Furthermore, should this change occur, I will gladly use this all the time and recommend it to my peers/colleagues. But, for now, I’m afraid the tempo/meter limitations render this app inferior to other metronomic apps.

mxwanger,
Great App!
I really love this app...t’s very simple to use and do recommend. If I could make a small suggestion, it would be nice if I could cast the the graphic to my smart tv. It would make it easier for group to see.
spokanegram,
Helpful!! Thank you!
This app is helping me follow the conductor ! I practice with it on my stand. Thanks
Ugh Zackly,
Tempo
Too bad tempo is variable only by incrementing with a nudge button.
Chikita123,
No time signature and tempo speed is very limited
Hi,
I purchased this to help me with my compositions and music notation. I learned that there’s no time signature to select. And Temple does not go higher than 240 bpm. there’s no way you can do conducting with 140 bpm in 7/8 time signature. i’m very disappointed.

From the developer
Liz Marshall, there is a Point Of View button that switches the pattern from ensemble to conductor.
My response to a review of 3.0 version: Dividing 7 beats per measure 2+2+3 is the same as 4+3 which _is_ included and is the more common division. Seven beats per measure is divided three ways, 4+3, 2+3+2, and 3+4. The bottom number in time signatures tells you what notation value gets the beat. It doesn't change the conducting pattern, so there's no reason to make any reference to it. You need to be able to determine how many beats there are in the measure. That determination may be affected by the lower number. You would probably want the 3+3 Six Pattern if you are in 6/8, rather than the 2+2+2 Six Pattern like if you were in 6/4. Notation determines the number of beats in the measure, not just the notated time signature.
The uneven pulse issue may be attributed to the iPhone checking for email, or voicemail, or whatever other background activity. I suggest using it in airplane mode, although I use it with airplane mode _off_ and it's solid and accurate.

cermak_rd,
Great for learning direction patterns
I'm an adult music student who has never played in an ensemble before. This app is helping me learn to keep time by watching the conductor. I'm used to using a metronome so having metronomic sounds as an option in the app is a nice bridge for me.
H Mo Ditty,
Great teaching tool!
I love this app. Any music theory student or chorus / band / orchestra student should own this! The multiple styles (legato / staccato / normal) is brilliant! All of my students who own iPhones will be encouraged to buy this! At $1.99, it's a steal! Congrats!
Thisguyhere5438282827,
A worthy app
This is a great app and all, but it needs to have more conducting patterns. Some conducting patterns could be divided differently such as 7 as 2+2+3... And that option is not given. Also, this could be clearer on time signature.. Unless its all in 4... Maybe time signature pattern variations then in that case
