No need for deafening click sounds
or expensive in-ear monitors: Keep rock solid time
during gigs but save your hearing and your money - with
the Palm metronome, Pocket Beat 3.6!
-- Patent Pending --
Finally... An alternative to the click track! Pocket Beat 3.6 lets you see
the beat even if you're not looking directly at it! Look
right at the full-screen VVTR display, or look straight
out into the audience and rely on your peripheral vision!
You can also choose to ignore it and check in on your tempo periodically--
try ignoring a click that's blasting at your eardrums!
No Palm PDA? No problem! Please inquire about purchasing PDAs preloaded with Pocket Beat. Volume
pricing available.

Pocket Beat 3.60 Features:
- Version 3.60 responds even quicker to screen input and will startup faster and run reliably on newer Palms due to added support for NVFS (non-volatile file system) PIM databases.
- VVTR - Pocket Beat's ground-breaking and
patent pending Vivid Visual Tempo Reference display. Look
directly at it, or let it hover in your peripheral vision.
- Gig setlist feature - another first among portable
metronomes: 150 tempos for your setlist, including song
titles are at your fingertips! Scroll through the setlist
with the Palm 5-way pad left/right buttons, or just touch
the word "Setlist" in the title bar to advance
to the next tune.
- Cheat Sheets - New to version 3.5 - Add 10 lines of text to any tune in the setlist. Remind yourself about song structure, lyrics, patterns & chord changes. Your notes remain visible under the flashing tempo display.
- Custom beat patterns - New to version 3.5 - Define a voice (hat/bass/snare) for each beat in a pattern of up to 16 beats. Beat patterns can be an odd length for odd time practice.
- Tempo is extremely accurate! Better than umpteen
other Palm Metronomes. Test
the precision for yourself!
- Tap a count-off - tap 8 beats (quarter notes) on
the bass drum using your fingertip or a stylus and the drummer
will count in on his "hats" and continue in time
to your tapped tempo!
- Metronome beeps can be enabled for tempo reference
or for accompaniment while practicing guitar or other instrument.
- Sampled drum sounds are available for tempo reference
or practice accompaniment on Tungsten C, Tungsten E, Tungsten E2, Tungsten
T3, Tungsten T5, Treo 600, Treo 650 (new!), and Zire 71 handhelds. These are units personally tested by the author. Untested units may still support sampled sound. See the help file included in the download for more details.
- Shuffle feel is supported for auditory tempo reference
/ accompaniment.
- Dual tempo and feel settings - easily switch between
two specific tempos with the Palm scroll up/down buttons;
this is useful in many educational and practice situations.
- A lot of power and flexibility packed into a friendly
looking, uncluttered interface.
- Works even on older Palms! Requires only
Palm OS 2.0 or higher. A color screen is recommended to
make the most of VVTR.
