KKS Metronome: Running & Music

# KKS Metronome — From Running Cadence to Music Practice

From running cadence training to music practice, KKS Metronome lets you create and customize rhythms in one app.

Use it as a simple metronome with your desired BPM, or combine drums, rhythm patterns, and pitch riffs to create your own practice presets.

You can also analyze audio stored on your device to detect BPM and sections and use the results as a starting point for a practice preset. Customize the result by changing instruments, rhythms, accents, layers, riffs, and more.

💡 **Who is KKS Metronome for?**

• Players who want to create patterns using bass, guitar, piano, and other pitch riffs
• Anyone who wants to analyze MP3/WAV audio and build a practice structure around an original track
• Anyone who wants to use a metronome while listening to music or podcasts
• Anyone who wants to change existing sounds or add their own sounds

🎵 **4. Audio Analysis & Original Track Mixing**

Use audio stored on your device as a starting point for creating practice presets.

• Analyze MP3/WAV and other audio files on your device
• Detect BPM and sections automatically
• Create a practice structure from the analysis
• Customize instruments, rhythms, layers, and riffs
• Play the original track and KKS Metronome together

Audio analysis is **not intended to reproduce an original track exactly**. It creates a starting structure that you can customize for your own practice.

Start with a song, or create your own rhythm from scratch.
