About Time Guru Metronome for iPad
The ultimate rhythm training experience, optimized for the iPad’s expansive display. Take advantage of the larger screen to build complex meter sequences and master your timing with the most advanced "gap click" metronome available. The "Gap Click" Revolution - Most musicians lean on the click; Time Guru lets you to own the beat. Time Guru is the only metronome that periodically goes silent—randomly, in patterns, or both—so you discover whether you rush, drag, or lose your place. It's like training wheels that lift off the ground. Designed for the iPad Canvas Building complex rhythms shouldn't feel cramped. Our iPad-specific interface allows you to view and edit unlimited chains of shifting meters without constant scrolling: • Expansive Sequencer: Build 4/4 → 7/8 → 3/4 → 11/16 with ease. • Intuitive Editing: Use the larger screen for precise drag-and-drop rearranging of meter patterns. • High Visibility: Perfect for use on a music stand; see your place in the sequence from a distance. Random & Pattern Muting Set any percentage of random muting to test your timekeeping, or create sequenced muting patterns. You'll quickly learn exactly where your timing falls apart—and strengthen your internal clock to fix it. Smart Practice Tools • Gradual Tempo Changes: Automatically speed up or slow down to build technical speed. • Practice Timer: Stay focused on your scales without glancing at the clock. • Pro Sound Sets: 35 loud, clear sounds with precise accent/unaccent balance control. • Voice Counting: English, Chinese, French, German & Russian. • Tap Tempo: High-responsiveness (5–300 BPM). • iCloud Sync: Your presets stay updated across iPad, iPhone, and Mac. • Full Accessibility: Robust VoiceOver support for visually impaired musicians. • Lock Screen control • Practice along with podcasts or YouTube What the press says: "This ingenious super metronome... an awesome learning, grooving, solidifying tool." — Guitar Player Magazine "If you're looking for a flexible, powerful metronome app for your iOS devices, I highly recommend Time Guru." — Sweetwater Developed by Avi Bortnick (touring guitarist with John Scofield) and Adam Bellard.
