Programmable metronome/software

[Faithless]

So, what I'm basically looking is a metronome or metronome software, that I could program, lets say, it clicks once on 1st bar, and then keeps silent for 3 bars, and so on...

I'd appreciate recommendations on both actual metronomes and metronome software stuff..

I can't go silly with the price, but, first, let's see metronomes first..


Thanks,
Laimis

If you have a daw, then you could just programme a drum loop type thing and loop it

Have you got an iPhone ?

Nope, no iPhone here..

Anyone?

I've heard that Logic does that kind of stuff, but it's only for Mac unfortunately..

[s1ater]

Logic does indeed do it... so will other programs like cubase, sonar, protools, reaper etc

Any idea if Cubase 4 would have that feature?

Dont know if [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/KORG-KOR-MA30-MA-30-DIGITAL-METRONOME/dp/B0002E2O2Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1301042422&sr=8-1"]this Korg MA 30 [/url]metronome is any good to you ? You can tap in your own tempo, if the one you need is not one of the functions already on it.

If software works for you then I'm pretty sure Hydrogen is a solution. Free drum machine that you program yourself. From what little I've seen I wouldn't recommend it for mac (you get to places where you can't get back out) , but I strongly suspect that the windows version is OK since everyone talks about it.

All you need to do in any software (Cubase, Reaper, Logic or anything else) is make a track & assign either a built in instruments sound or any vsti & make a 4 bar loop, put a note on the 1st beat that plays your first click (use a sound like "rimshot") & leave the rest blank. Simples really.

if you want something more portable (for the practise room etc.), the zoom h2 recorder features a programmable metronome which can do what you're looking to do.

expensive for a standalone metronome, but if you require the sync'd recording aspect, it's a handy piece of kit.

Thanks for the input, guys!

I only need to use it for practice purposes, not anything serious (recording, gig..), so drum software will do - I've just came to realise it's so simple to do that using it not long ago!

easy
