Palm OS Apps  -  Pocket Beat

POCKET BEAT

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™.

How do you use Pocket Beat? "At rehersals, very often to find out the current tempo by tapping, control that the drummer doesn't accelerate, or simply count in." --Jürgen Steiner, FUNchestra, Austria.
  Mounted Palm for live use

Pocket Beat is a precision metronome

Due to clever programming, Pocket Beat is as accurate at the processor inside the Palm its running on. Sadly, other other Palm OS metronomes not only fail our our accuracy test, most fail it miserably! Test the precision of Pocket Beat against other Palm metronomes for yourself!

Pocket Beat's unique programming makes it a professional-grade metronome. Not only is it a fantastic, feature-rich tool for keeping time while playing live performances or while you practice guitar or other instrument, Pocket Beat can also be employed for professional studio uses - in place of, or in addition to, a traditional click track. Other Palm metronomes and sequencers may claim to keep time, but many are grossly inaccurate. Click here to learn more, and perform your own accuracy test against Pocket Beat and other Palm metronomes...
