Meet Metronomics and its big brother, Metronomics HD: a family of apps for iPhone, iPad, iPod, Mac, and Android built for real musicians -- everyone from the absolute beginner to seasoned professional can find features meant to make practice more accurate, more informative, and more productive.
If you'r'e a beginner, you'll appreciate how easy it is to choose, display, and practice simple rhythms. Professionals can stretch the features to the limits, making use of custom subdivisions (think 5/7), sequenced grooves, and "independence" mode.
Musicians of all levels will be able to spend hours refining their time and precision with the "Inspector" feature in Metronomics HD that gives live feedback from either microphone or MIDI input. With the Metronomics HD Inspector, there's no more uncertainty about whether you're "rushing" or lagging behind in a tricky passage—the picture tells the story.
Your practice time is precious—make it count. Work with a tool created by and for real musicians.

Meet Metronomics HD, the full-featured practice suite big brother of the popular iPhone metronome Metronomics. It's the perfect practice tool for everyone from beginners, to seasoned professionals who need the most complex rhythmic options. Now available for iPad and Mac.
The Metronomics apps are the only metronomes that give you complete control over how subdivisions are played -- use custom subdivisions (such as 5/7), custom samples, preset patterns, random intervals, sequenced grooves, silent measures, or anything else you can think of to help drive your practice routine.
Metronomics HD not only features a beautiful innovative interface optimized for the larger screens, but also a new set of features, including the "Inspector" mode. The Metronomics Inspector listens to and records your playing (either from a microphone or via MIDI input from the camera connection kit) and graphs it next to the metronome output, showing you how "in time" you are compared to the metronome. It will also analyze your playing and attempt to show you how far away you were from the beat (measurements are precise when using MIDI input and based on audio analysis when using the microphone). With this feature, Metronomics HD moves beyond the normal one-dimensional metronome and becomes an even more useful practice tool, with interactive feedback on your playing. You can also choose to play back or export your practice session to review what you played while watching the visual analysis from Metronomics.
Metronomics gives you access to over 40 different samples for each subdivision, plus the ability to import your own WAV files to use as custom sample sounds. Use any of these samples for any type of subdivision, including common types like quarter notes or eighth note triplets, sequenced grooves like claves or ride cymbal patterns, or a "custom subdivision," such as 7/5 or 25/4. Then, save your preferences and have everything synced over iCloud, allowing you to stay in sync with Metronomics HD on OSX if you also practice with your Mac.
Generate patterns using random or sequenced variations of different subdivisions
Include preset patterns such as claves (including odd-meter claves)
Choose any number of beats per measure for your time signature, including mixed meters such as (4 + 3 + 5), where the segments of the bar get accented automatically
Choose from 40 different included samples, or import your own WAV files
Use any type of subdivision, including custom numbers (5/7, 13/4, etc)
Move rhythms to unusual parts of the measure with the "offset feature" -- think quarter note triplets, starting on an offbeat
Sync your saved metronomes and presets between the iOS and OSX versions of Metronomics HD using iCloud
Email saved metronomes back and forth with other Metronomics users
"Inspector" feature graphs your playing alongside the Metronome, using microphone or MIDI input
Play back or export your playing with the metronome
Swing feel, with customizable swing amounts
Metronome keeps playing while in the background
Use iOS multitasking remotes to control playback

After two years of being an iOS only app, in 2013, Metronomics expanded to the Android platform.
The Android version is not a simple port of the app -- it has been rewritten from the ground up in Java, making sure that the best technology for the platform is put to use.
