Strangely limited
This could be a great app but it doesn't contain very common patterns like the standard 6/8 bell, cascara etc. these are very common patterns. It seems very strange to miss them out. Would be 5 stars without these simple omissions.
the Clave
Published by: Drew Milloy
Description
the Clave is a clave pattern metronome/click track app with five selectable clave patterns: Son, Rumba, two different Afro (6/8) styles and Bossa Nova.
The current pattern is shown on-screen in traditional notation, with each beat highlighted as it is played.
Patterns can be switched between 3:2 (forward) and 2:3 (reverse) clave.
Tempo is variable from 40 to 200 beats per minute (in cut time), and the timing is rock-solid: accurate to the nearest sample (22 microseconds).
Drag the tempo button up or down to choose a tempo in BPM.
Tap the tempo button in time with the beat to set a tempo rhythmically.
Playback continues in the background, so you can lock your screen and keep on playing.
You can alter the sound, there are high and low pitches and a volume boost option.
It's a useful practice aid, whether you are beginning to play Latin American music, or an experienced sonero. It can also be used to help inject new vibrance into other styles of music - for example, try playing a jig with the Afro (6/8) clave playing!

Helping master these grooves
Easy to use and great for getting the accents right in these genres.
Does what it says on the tin. Perfect!

Nice and simple
Too many apps add clutter. This sticks to the task of accurately playing the standard clave patterns. Very useful tool 🙂
Doesn't work for me
Unfortunately it doesn't work on my iPad mini running 9.3.8. It loads up and tells me there are three ways to adjust the tempo. After I swipe to clear the third method - the screen goes blank and the app bombs out. I can't really give a star rating, as I haven't been able to try it...
Beautifully simple!
Fantastic app!! So very useful. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to perfect or get into Latin and Afro styles music. This app be improved by allowing users to sequence certain bars ie: 3:2/3:2/3:2/3:2/2:3/2:3/2:3/2:3 etc
Great app, love it.
A few more variations, even at a price, would be great. Some more 6/8 patterns , cinquillo, cascara, bell patterns, etc.
Brilliant
Fantastic, exactly what you need for Latin practice.
