One tempo at a time

The web metronome holds one tempo. Gradus: Metronome for iPhone climbs through a sequence of tempos on its own: set the steps, and the click moves for you.

This metronome starts at 140 BPM in 4/4. That tempo falls within typical ranges for trance and dubstep, though tempo alone does not determine a style. The first beat of each bar is accented.

With Clicks per beat at 2 and Swing at Straight, the eighth-note clicks arrive about 4.7 times per second. At 4, the sixteenths arrive about 9.3 times per second. Choose the amount of detail you need for the passage, or leave it at 1 to hear only quarter notes.

If a phrase is difficult at 140, lower Tempo until you can play its rhythm clearly, including the ending. Work on that short section before bringing it back into the longer passage. Use the Tempo field's arrow keys for one-BPM adjustments, or Shift with an arrow key for steps of five.
