Pressbox (Press Release) - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

August 14th 2010, Robert Inventor announces an update of Bounce Metronome Pro 4.1

This metronome with its gravity bounce conductor can show you any rhythm precisely. You can use it to work with tricky rhythms such as swing, polyrhythms, mixed meters etc because the crisp conducting visuals help you play every note exactly in time. Range of rhythms available is vast.

With it's crisp and precise Gravity Bounce Conductor visuals, it's like having your own conductor to help you learn even the most tricky rhythms and to help you keep time.

“...their rise and fall incorporates a ‘gravity bounce' that feels like having your own conductor to help you keep in time...” Martin Walker, “PC Notes”, Sound on Sound p180, January 2010

NEW SINCE VERSION 3.2

POLYRHYTHMS WITH MIXED NOTE TYPES

This plays rhythms like 4/4 over 4/3 - it's like a 4 over 3 polyrhythm but you count 4/4 in both parts - so the 4/3 though it has three beats to the measure of the 4/4 rhythm, is played with emphasis every four beats, so has a measure that is a third longer than the 4/4.

FLAMENCO COMPAS "CLOCK"

Plays the 12 beat pattern - basically a 6/8 alternating with 3/4 - which is needed for practice of many Flamenco rhythms,.So it is shown with the 12 at the top for first beat and arranged like a clock face, with balls bouncing inside the clock to show the beats.

MIXED METERS WITH MIXED NOTE TYPES

This lets you play rhythms like 4/4 + 7/8 or 2/4 + 3/8 - also with subdivisions and swing.

NEW WINDOWS

Label individual beats as you like, including beat boxing feature with option to auto convert beat boxing syllables to non melodic percussion instrument sounds.

Go Silent Briefly - The idea here is that you continue to play when the sound stops. Then when the sound comes back again, aim to be exactly in time with the metronome, or as close as you can get to it.

More drum rudiments in the drop list for the Drum & Dance metronome.

New button to make a roll with any number of strokes and a buzz roll.

Up / Down arrow key cycles through list of tempi & optionally time signatures.

New features for the rhythmicon.
