The Conducting Metronome

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.

This app is helping me follow the conductor ! I practice with it on my stand. Thanks

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.

Basic Features, Only

Cavalier1011 on

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.

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.

Baton styles?

Danny4220 on

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!

Tempo

Too bad tempo is variable only by incrementing with a nudge button.

Best.

This app has helped me tremendously get a true grasp on conducting. Thanks.

Does what it says

and more... never crashes. Use what the pros use.

Great for learning direction patterns

cermak_rd on

United States

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.

Great visuals

My go-to metronome while learning new pieces. Easy to use & versatile.
