K-metronome is a feature-rich metronome with rhythm generator and tuner. Tempos and Rhythms are fully customizable--including Polyrhythms! The Tuning Pitch can be chosen from a wide range on an equally tempered scale, or to any desired frequency, entered in Hertz. K-metronome is time signature and bar oriented instead of just simply being beat count oriented. So for instance, if you are using a 4/4 rhythm and want to stop emphasizing the downbeat, you change the 'Distinctive downbeat' setting. With most electronic and other Pocket PC metronomes, you would change from 4 beats to 0 beats!?! K-metronome offers the user full control of the soundable "clicks"--Each individual bar beat or beat subdivision.
Any "click" can be a "tick", "tock", or silence, and may be accented--thus allowing all sorts of rhythmic patterns.

  • Highly precise beat timing & tuner pitch--A 'fundamental' requirement.
  • Extremely wide customizable and standard ranges--No compromises.

Measure emphasis:

  • Accented downbeats of real measures--not just by a single beat count.
