Basic Instructions

Start and Stop the metronome by clicking on the Play button or by pressing the spacebar on your keyboard.

Change the tempo by either moving the metronome slider weight up or down, or by entering any custom value (bpm) in the tempo field, then hit the enter button on your keyboard. You can also select a tempo marking from the tempo markings dropdown menu.

That's all there is to it! To do even more, read the Advanced Instructions below...

Advanced Instructions

The metronome has two different working modes: strict and loose. The "strict" mode shows only the "real" metronome tempos; that is, the tempo values you can find on a real, physical metronome, ranging from 40 bpm (beats per minute) to 208 bpm. The loose mode, instead, allows you to define any tempo value from 1 bpm to 400 bpm. You can switch between modes with the Metronome Mode switch.

The Flash Mode switch (available in newer browsers only*) allows you to change the display of the beat. By default, the metronome flashes the play button (button mode). In screen mode, the metronome will flash the entire screen. Screen Mode is especially useful in conjunction with the "muted" sound (see point below), when you'd rather the sound of the metronome not be a disturbance (i.e., during a recording, performance, etc.).

Define where you want the accent to be played with the Accent control. For example, if you are playing a piece with a 4/4 time signature, you may want to set the metronome to 4, which is the default value. This simply means that every 4 beats, you'll get an accent. If, however, you are playing a 3/4 time signature piece, you may want to set the metronome to the value of 3 (every 3 beats, you'll get an accent). You can also select "Cycle" to set your own cycle of accents! (available in newer browsers only*)

The Sound buttons (available in newer browsers only*) allow you to change the metronome sounds accordingly, or to mute the sound completely (useful in conjunction with the screen Flash Mode mentioned above).

The Tempo Tapper allows you to define a custom tempo by either tapping or clicking on the button itself with your mouse, or by defining your tempo with the letter T on your keyboard. Just define 4 beats, and the metronome will follow you at your defined tempo. Please note that if you are in strict mode and you define a tempo that is not a "real" metronome tempo, the metronome will automatically switch to "loose" mode.
