Beat Counter PRO 1.0


Category: Music
Price: $0.99 (iTunes)

Description:

Beat Counter is the serious Tap Tempo, Metronome and BPM Reference Tool. It was designed by a professional musician for use at home, on stage or in the studio.

Beat Counter quickly and accurately estimates tempo based on your finger taps. If you are listening to a song using the iPod application, you can launch Beat Counter and your music will continue so you can find the tempo of any song in your library.

Most of the metronomes in the App Store share a common feature: they cannot keep accurate time! Beat Counter was written from scratch and is not based on Apple’s free sample code. We spent quite a bit of time making our metronome as accurate as possible. You can choose from a variety of clicks including sounds from digital and analog metronomes, clave, cowbell, and more. Beat Counter also features the ability to tune your click sound over more than four octaves! Try tuning a cowbell up an octave or two for a very musical and non-intrusive metronome sound. You will really appreciate the ability to customize your metronome in this way! And you won’t find this feature in any other metronome on the App Store.

One touch, and the Beat Calculator quickly slides into view, displaying the delay times and LFO frequencies for common subdivisions at the current tempo. Super helpful when tweaking your effects rack, synthesizer, or software instrument.

We’ve also thrown in an A-440 standard tuning note, easily accessible from the main screen, along with the three most common studio reference tones. This feature alone has saved us on several gigs, and again, Beat Counter is the only app of its kind with this capability.

NOTES: Beat Counter determines tempo based on two or more taps of the large TAP button. The method used to compute the tempo delivers good estimates of tempo in two or three clicks, but to really get the most accurate readings, you should click between four and eight times. If you need to try again, the Tap Tempo detection circuit resets automatically after about 1.5 seconds.

For those interested in the details: the TAP button considers a tap to start when you touch the glass, not when you lift your finger. (Most buttons on the iPhone and iPod touch register when you LIFT your finger.) This makes tapping tempo feel natural and responsive. By contrast, the PLAY button starts when you lift your finger. So for the most accurate metronome starts, press and hold the PLAY button, then lift at the precise moment you want the metronome to start. This trick works when using the iPhone camera as well: hold the button until you have the picture you want, then release to snap the photo. Easier to control, and more accurate!

FINAL NOTE: Beat Counter was designed to stay on while you use it, thus your iPhone or iPod touch will not sleep while it is running. To preserve your battery, make sure and turn off Beat Counter when you are done using it. The next update will offer a feature which permits the Beat Counter to continue playing when your your device goes to sleep. Watch for it soon! (Updates are free, of course.)
