A metronome including a sensor capable of detecting an event and a controller in communication with the sensor and which controls the metronomes response to the event. The controller can receive a signal from the sensor indicating an occurrence of the event, the controller, in response, can generate a signal to adjust a characteristic of the metronome in response to the event.

Systems, methods and apparatus directed to a global metronome configured at each of one or more locations to receive a high accuracy timing signal and responsively update a local clock thereto, to determine a phase of a virtual metronome using the updated local clock, a predetermined epoch start time and a predetermined virtual metronome period, to phase synchronize a local metronome to the virtual metronome, and to control local devices providing audio playback and/or a sequence of nonmusical events in accordance with start/stop/tempo messages configured in accordance with the local metronome. By using the global metronome at each of a plurality of locations to synchronize/control devices at those locations, the local devices that each of the plurality of locations are inherently synchronized with each other.

A metronome includes a body, a sensor coupled to the body and a controller in communication with the sensor. The sensor is configured to detect one or more strikes by a user of the metronome. The controller is configured to receive a first user input to select a tap tempo mode, detect via the sensor a strike by the user on the body of the metronome, determine a tempo based on a plurality of strikes by the user. The controller is further configured to detect modulation of how the strikes are made to the body of the metronome and automatically adjust the tempo based on the detected modulation of the strike.

A programmable metronome comprising input controls to set the starting tempo, number of tempo intervals, and the speed of the tempo at the various intervals, and the length of the intervals. The metronome then generates a series of sounds based on said input controls, said series of sounds used for music practice and training.

A metronome including a sensor capable of detecting an event and a controller in communication with the sensor and which controls the metronomes response to the event. The controller can receive a signal from the sensor indicating an occurrence of the event, the controller, in response, can generate a signal to adjust a characteristic of the metronome in response to the event.

The metronome push cart is a cart. The metronome push cart is configured for use with a marching band. The metronome push cart comprises a cart structure, a rotating mount, a speaker, and a metronome. The rotating mount attaches to the cart structure. The rotating mount secures the speaker to the cart structure. The cart structure transports the speaker, and metronome while the marching band is performing. The metronome maintains an audible rhythmic sound used to coordinate the musicians in the marching band.

Systems, methods and apparatus directed to a global metronome configured at each of one or more locations to receive a high accuracy timing signal and responsively update a local clock thereto, to determine a phase of a virtual metronome using the updated local clock, a predetermined epoch start time and a predetermined virtual metronome period, to phase synchronize a local metronome to the virtual metronome, and to control local devices providing audio playback and/or a sequence of nonmusical events in accordance with start/stop/tempo messages configured in accordance with the local metronome. By using the global metronome at each of a plurality of locations to synchronize/control devices at those locations, the local devices that each of the plurality of locations are inherently synchronized with each other.

A system may be configurable to (i) access an audio signal, (ii) utilize the audio signal as input to one or more beat estimation modules to determine beat timestamp data indicating timestamps of beats and/or downbeats for the audio signal, (iii) generate beat metadata for the audio signal based on the beat timestamp data, (iv) receive user input directed to causing playback of the audio signal, (v) receive additional user input directed to configuring the system to cause presentation of beat and/or downbeat cues during playback of the audio signal, (vi) cause playback of the audio signal, and (vii) use the beat metadata to cause presentation of the beat and/or downbeat cues during the playback of the audio signal, wherein the beat and/or downbeat cues are caused to be presented in accordance with the timestamps of the beats and/or downbeats for the audio signal represented in the beat metadata.

A tempo detection and display system, a musical practice and mastery system, a musical aid, a disc jockey aid, processes, and method of use are presented. The present disclosure is configured to provide measurements and display these measurements, and in particular display via nixie tubes. The measurements configured of and/or interpreting an external audio signal. Additionally, the system is configured to measure and display dB SPL; decibel of sound pressure level, also referred to as dB SPL, decibel of sound pressure level or decibel sound pressure level. To switch what parameter is being displayed, a 3-state toggle switch; or toggle switch or toggle, which is located on the main body.

A visual metronome for use with a drum kit, including circuitry for generating a succession of light signals according to a selected flashing pattern defined by frequency and duration. A circuit splitter is in operative communication with the metronome for multiplying the light signals. A plurality of individual light emitting components are in operative communication with the circuit splitter, the light emitting components being mounted to individual components associated with the drum kit to simultaneously display the flashing pattern corresponding to the multiplied light output signals at locations visible to a user of the drum kit. A plurality of cables extend between the circuit splitter and respective light emitting components. The light emitting components can each further include a different color in order to provide enhanced visibility in various stage lighting situations. A power supply communicates the metronome, including any of a battery or a 9V power outlet plug.
