Published on 08/28/10 at 02:23- For how long have you been using it?
Used for 2 and a half years and live again. Never had a problem with.
- What thing do you like most/least about it?
Pros:
+ Memory to store the signatures and tempos of each song (with the possibility of naming presets)
+ 2 jack outputs
+ MIDI input
+ Display lighting
+ Tap tempo function (very useful for finding the right tempo of a song, just ask a musician to play and the type during that time, tempo, not the musician)
+ Setting divisions for action
+ The "vibration" (ideal for starting at the right speed without spreading the sweet sound of "BEEP" on stage)
+ LED displays that mark the tempo (not easy to stall it, but it still has a small utility)
+ Can fix it on a tripod, boom, stand, etc..
+ Organizing presets chain (to change the order of songs in a concert without having to move each of the memories)
Cons:
- No possibility of registering a complex structure with change in tempo and signature change within a single song
- Data backup that requires a 9V battery (always provide a replacement battery, if it comes to empty, all that is in memory disappear)
- Did you try many other models before getting this one?
This was my one and only programmable metronome. According to its specifications, it was the only one able to respond to most of my expectations. Having already used with a group before you buy it, I knew what to expect and I saw how much he was robust and reliable.
- What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Very good product overall, but the price remains to my taste far too high for a metronome, programmable certainly, but is still not capable of managing a complex structure with change of signatures and tempos within the same song. There must be other similar products from other manufacturers for less. Albeit with fewer features but just know what we really need ...
- Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
If I had the opportunity to use my Mac to replace ClickStation Mainstage, it is highly likely that I would choose again this product (if finances permit).
