Conductor is a visual metronome specifically designed to run silently, mimicking the time-keeping actions of a real conductor - ideal for live performance. Available now in App Store.
Conductor uses a bouncing ball to beat time (yes you can change the style of the ball — and yes, more styles will be coming soon). Each ball-bounce signifies one beat which also means that the and count occurs when the ball is at its apex.
The first beat of the bar is signified by a harder beat. This is exactly the same way people beat time with their hands.
If you are performing live, it is often useful to turn off all beat counting and accenting — just in case you drift a beat or two. You can still stay in time, but don't have to worry that you are not on a bar boundary. Click here to find out more.
