๐Ÿ”Š Make It Go BOOM (or Whisper)

The metronome in OnSong can play audio to keep you from sounding like a total amateur when you're tryna nail that click track. The audio settings section in metronome settings lets you tweak how this lil' robot beats sounds. It's got the following bangers:

๐Ÿฅ Soundscapes of Clickitude

OnSong supports way too many metronome sounds, including:

  • Wood Block is literally a wood block havin' a bad day โ€” the downbeat gets all high & mighty. Default (because we said so).
  • Beep is a computer havin' an existential crisis. Use it to drown out literally everything else you're playin'.
  • Claves is that clicky-clacky vibe with the downbeat flexin' in a higher register.
  • Light Tap is basically a ghost tappin' you on the shoulder, except the downbeat actually shows up.
  • Shaker is an egg shaker havin' the time of its life (very quietly, tho).
  • Bass Drum with Snare plays the bass drum on literally every beat & saves the snare drama for the downbeat.
  • Bass Drum with Crash is that one friend who brings the cymbals to every party. Bass drum everywhere, crash on the downbeat.
  • Hi Hat and Snare is your drummer in a nutshell โ€” hi hat goin' crazy on the beats, snare gettin' all dramatic on the downbeat.
  • Hi Hat Open/Close plays that tssss-ka hi hat action for the beats. You know the one.

๐Ÿ“ Pan

Slide this bad boy left & right if you wanna pretend the metronome is havin' an identity crisis. (Pro tip: iOS has a glitch where it won't fully drown out one channel. We're as mad about it as you are.)

๐Ÿ”Š Volume

Turn it up, turn it down, or live dangerously somewhere in the middle. This one's all you, fam โ€” totally independent from OnSong's main volume so you can be extra.

โš™๏ธ Behavior Shenanigans

This is where the metronome gets its personality. Tweak these bad boys:

  • Play Down Beat โ€” flip this on & the downbeat gets its own special sound treatment. Flip it off & it's all the same boring beat. Default is on (we're generous like that).
  • Play Down Beat Only โ€” turn this on & you only hear beat 1. Beats 2, 3 & 4? Poof. Gone. RIP.

๐ŸŽฏ BPM Settings

These are basically the guardrails so you don't tempo yourself into the stratosphere.

  • Default BPM is your fallback tempo when you're too lazy to set one. We picked 96 BPM because it felt right.
  • Minimum BPM is the slowest tempo you can actually use without fallin' asleep. Bottom line: 40 BPM.
  • Maximum BPM is the fastest our lil' metronome can handle before it has a meltdown. Ceiling: 200 BPM (typo in the original but we're leavin' it).
