"I wanted to compliment you on the how easy the app is to use. It's created
in the true Palm spirit. No nonsense, yet does just what's needed...Thanks for such a great product at a reasonable price."
"Your RhythmPro is really amazing!!! Surely is the best program I´ve
installed in my Palm since I´ve bought it! Instead of use expensive digital
drums or metronomes that doesn´t work or sound so well, I use your program
to practice anywhere and after 10 years playing guitar I thought I´d never
find a metronome like this to hold in my pocket. The interface is great and
the samples sounds good too."
RhythmPro lets you create and play your own custom drum patterns with real
digitized drum sounds on a Palm handheld. Or it can also be used as a versatile
and extremely accurate metronome.
You can create rhythm patterns in almost any imaginable time
signature, save and organize your patterns into categories, and play them using
your choice of four different display modes for
optimal visual and audio feedback. Set the tempo for each pattern using the onscreen
controls or just tap the screen twice in time and RhythmPro calculates the tempo
of your taps and begins playing. Other included features:
- Ability to build rhythm patterns using digitized drum sounds
(hi-hat, snare, bass, and cowbell) or using musical tones at any pitch from
50 to 4000 Hz.
- Customizable relative volume for each type of beat sound.
- Extremely accurate playback with timing accuracy of 0.00017 BPM (the highest accuracy
possible on Palm devices).
- Ability to create patterns in any time signature up with up to 40 beats per measure.
- Playback at any rate from 1 to 400 BPM (beats per minute).
- A self-check features monitors the playback to tell you if your playback
tempo surpasses the ability of your Palm's hardware to play the rhythm
with accurate timing.
- Whenever possible the CPU is put to sleep between each beat to limit
battery power consumption.
- Four different visual display modes during playback, including an
animated metronome and other modes showing you the entire beat pattern or the
current beat.
- Measure counter with option to automatically stop playing after a
set number of measures.
- Six sample rhythm patterns included.
