Poly Metronome is a powerful tool that helps you master both daily practice and stage performance. At the heart of the app lies our extremely precise, studio-quality metronome. Many unique features like subdivisions and polyrhythms help you improve your music skills. Create complex patterns with triplets, dotted notes and non-standard time signatures. You can set different subdivisions per beats. Save and load your favorite practices: you can combine coach & automator modes.

The Poly Metronome supports several ways to experience beats. The free version of the app includes Sound, Visual, Flash, Vibrate Modes. You can see the beats graphically displayed on screen by the pendulum. Visual and Vibrate Modes are great when youre playing loud instruments or when you need to FEEL the beat. Flash Mode uses the devices camera flash to sync up the entire band easily.

Poly Metronome includes a Coach Trainer which mutes a selected bar in the beat, allowing your brain to fill in the gap and thus train your innate sense of timing.
