About PolyNome: THE Metronome
LEARN — Map songs and understand complex rhythms. PRACTICE — Plan, play, and track your progress. PERFORM — Build your band’s click Setlist in seconds. Designed by a musician, for musicians. Used by Vinnie Colaiuta, Peter Erskine, Virgil Donati, Dennis Chambers & more. ◆ THE BASICS ▶ Sample-accurate metronome for any time signature, with automatic and randomized tempo changes, subdivision faders, tap tempo, Big Numbers, and a classic pendulum. ▶ Choose from hundreds of sounds, including voice counting. With Premium, import or record your own samples. ▶ Use the repeat counter and timer to track your work or stop automatically at your target. ▶ Program two independent sequencers with overlapping rhythms or different time signatures. ▶ Built-in tuner with calibration (for example, A=442), plus hands-free control using Siri or Bluetooth/MIDI. NOTE: Playlists, Practice Log, Media Tracks, Konnakol, Custom Sounds, and more require an In-App Purchase. Eligible customers can try Premium free for one month. PolyNome Pro is a separate one-time purchase with all features available at purchase. ◆ LEARN › Learn songs faster and take the stress out of rehearsals with Media Tracks ▶ Import from Apple Music, YouTube, or your own audio and video files. ▶ Mark bars and sections in one pass, then jump anywhere with a tap—no scrubbing to find your place. ▶ Loop or slow down difficult passages, then create and annotate a clean, printable Lead Sheet. › Learn with interactive resources ▶ Install resources combining video, playable rhythms, scores, and notes—from the 40 Essential Rudiments to The Black Page—or create your own. › Hear, see, and understand complex rhythms ▶ Program virtually any rhythm—even irrational meters such as 4/5—and hear accents, flams, drags, rolls, and ties played precisely. ▶ Add automatic spoken and written counting, or use Stroke Guides to see the correct sticking for any rudiment. ▶ Build two- and three-way polyrhythms, hear how the parts fit together, and follow multiple animated visualizations. ◆ PRACTICE › Plan ahead. Then just play ▶ Use Goals to choose what to work on, when, and for how long—including overall targets that tell you when to move on. ▶ Build routines with Playlists, automations, repeats, and voice cues. Keep timers, charts, book pages, videos, and notes one tap away. ▶ Record the screen with a camera feed, then turn the video into a Media Track to annotate, loop, and slow down. › See the work add up ▶ PolyNome automatically logs every exercise, tempo, duration, and date. Follow streaks, spot neglected tempos, and compare practice periods. ▶ Add notes to any event and see your cumulative time on that exercise at that moment—revealing how long improvement took. ▶ Print PDF reports or export your history as CSV. Teachers can review what students practiced and read notes made while difficulties were fresh. ◆ PERFORM — Build your band’s click Setlist in seconds. ▶ Create clicks for originals, automatically find the tempo, key, and duration of covers, or import an Apple Music playlist. ▶ See the total running time as you build, and add interval or encore markers showing the duration above each break. ▶ Produce a professional printable Setlist in a couple of taps. › Take everything you need on stage ▶ Attach charts, PDFs, text notes, or forScore links so the right information appears with each click. ▶ If someone starts first, use Tap To Start to bring the click in at their tempo, or use haptics for a silent click you can feel. ◆ ORGANIZE, DISCOVER & SHARE ▶ Keep Rhythms, Clicks, Media, Playlists, Setlists, and Shortcuts organized—and find anything with search, labels, sorting, and filtering. ▶ Discover lessons and examples from Home, explore the free Public Library, or join the Practice Room for live Q&As, support, and courses. ▶ Share with PolyNome users or export MIDI and audio files. ▶ Supports VoiceOver. ▶ Send audio to other apps with Audiobus or Inter-App Audio.
