App: tempo changes#7

It would be awesome to program tempo changes. Ideally there would be 3 ways to trigger a change: 1) number of bars expired 2) time expired or 3) manual switch (e.g. Bluetooth foot pedal). Once the tempo changes, it could impact the BPM/time signature/subdivision/etc. and you set up as many sections of each metronome preset as you want.

make this happen

This is great!

From another thread “
Implement the ability to set tempo and metre changes inside of the create a song feature (example: 120bpm 4/4 for 32 bars, 5/4 for 16 bars, 100bpm 5/4 for 16 bars)

This would be incredibly helpful for songs with complex structures or multiple movements.

Additionally, being able to accept metre changes when synced to a DAW would be very helpful.

The ‘multiple movements’ idea is perfect. Would add so much versatility to the watch.

These are some great ideas :) Thanks for all the input so far

What about looking at a section in terms of compound time signatures. Meaning play (three times 6/8 and a fourth bar of 7/8) and repeat that 8 times would make a lot of new events for one single beat in odd-ness right. When u cycle between several times in one riff or verse line or something, right?

I am really stoked that it’ll get worked on.

Also an idea for having an option for a quick double beat when u enter a new section maybe? Kind of feelable markers, if u will.
Cheers

In the past we had the idea to allow users who own a wearable to define a special LED color for each section - I actually forgor about that when I made the design and might add that back in. Probably a double vibration would be confusing as an indicator and get you out of rhythm but in general the idea to give an indicator is good.

I didn’t quite understand the first half of your message. You mean that it would be helpful if you can group sections and then repeat the sections, e.g. 3x 6/8 and 1x 7/8 forms a group, and then you can loop this rather than having to re-add this pattern many times?

From another thread: “It’s possibly been suggested before on here, but adding a section on the app for when you creat a song, you’re able to add multiple tempo and time signature changes through the song.

My band writes originals, and most of the songs we play have tempo changes throughout each song, and sometimes the time signature as well. We’ve been looking at a way of being able to play along to a metronome while having tempo changes in for a while, but there’s nothing out there”

“I would love the ability to set the watch from quarter notes to eighth to sixteenth in quick succession.

For instance, I’m practicing at 90bpm and want to make practicing short speed bursts in sixteenths for a half measure then go back to quarter notes then eighth notes for half a measure.

I’m currently playing to a click at quarter notes and setting my Core to sixteenths. I would love the ability to program the app to allow me to have frequent timing changes. To allow for a better speed burst practice.”
