FS#4935 - Metronome options
Hi
i think the metronome is great, and thought why not add some more functions, like using it as a guitar tuner? (using the built in mic in the h1xx)
how about an option for the metronome so the beat sounds a bit different on every 4th beat?
cheers

Hi, I agree totally. It would be nice to have lots of musician tools.
In the metronome I’d add the following options (so it can be used as commercial metronomes):
- beat (7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, triplets, …)
- high-pitched sound on every beat
- Note playing (may be used for tuning): A,Bb,B,C,Db,D… - Note octave
- Note calibration (default 440Hz)
- Optional visual effect on every beat (flash screen by changing background color or something like this so the tempo can be followed without listening)
- Simulated bouncing bar (like a real old metronome)
and this too:
- bypass/mute background music (useful for finding song tempos and tonalities)
Oh, I agree with these points… I made some audio files for equal and meantone temperament as a temporary solution (see below).
But of much higher importance (and hopefully not such a great task!) is
- Optional visual effect on every beat (flash screen by changing background color or something like this so the tempo can be followed without listening)
(or just a flashing symbol) - this addendum would be great help for musicians.
On the subject of guitar tuner, would it be possible to sample from mic (acoustic) or line-in (electric) and then display the result like those guitar tuning programs on my PC i’m so fond of not sure what kind of processing power that kidn of thing takes up but I wouldnt have thought anything too amazing.
Hi, I totally agree that it would be could to have all those features but I was really wondering about the different sound every 4th (or more preferably on a selectable beat like Joan said. Sadly it looks like this feature hasn’t taken must notice since this request has been around for over a year. It would be very useful to me if someone would add that feature.
I did some initial work on this sometime ago. It did work on my iRiver H320, and my iPod 5G 60Gb.
