Open Metronome Bassmidi

Studying a musical instrument can be a challenging activity since it usually requires intensive practice sessions, focus and appropriate tools.

Rhythm is one of the cornerstones of music theory, therefore you might need a special tool that can help you train it: a metronome. Although you can rely on traditional metronomes, it is also possible to use specialized software, such as Open Metronome Bassmidi, to help you attain the same results.

Note that this application is a fork for Open Metronome, but with extra functions.

Since it is a portable tool, this program does not require installation and you can use it as soon as you decompress it. You can easily understand and fully use its functions without difficulty since it does not provide complicated menus or hidden buttons.

This program is a basic metronome tool that features additional capabilities and also allows you to create configuration profiles that you can save on your computer, for future use.

Aside from simple metronome functions, this program packs a few extra functions that can prove to be useful to your study. Instead of sending the data to the midi-out ports, this application relies on SoundFont files, allowing you to choose your favorite percussion style.

The main window of this application features 9 customizable instruments that you can adjust according to your needs. It is possible to modify each channel's volume or drag the large slider bar on the bottom to adjust the overall volume.

This utility allows you to choose your favorite metronome style from a classic tick-tock sound, a simple adjustable measure, or a custom one. You can create a custom rhythm using each of the instruments displayed in the main window.

The configuration menu allows you to assign various keys on your keyboard to each of this program's functions. For instance, you can quickly increase or decrease the volume by pressing the keys that you defined.

To sum it up, Open Metronome Bassmidi is a lightweight application that helps you train your rhythm while providing you with extra functions, such as a drum pattern sequencer and SoundFont playback.
