Appmuse

This app is helping me follow the conductor ! I practice with it on my stand. Thanks

I really love this app...t’s very simple to use and do recommend. If I could make a small suggestion, it would be nice if I could cast the the graphic to my smart tv. It would make it easier for group to see. Show more

Pros: - Conducts in 3 different kinds of styles with an option to reduce the pattern (as if in half-/cut-time). - Offers a variety of patterns that accommodate quarter-note patterns. Con: * Cannot use the eighth note for the beat. This means that, if you want to get a 7/8 pattern at 180bpm, you will have to settle for a 7/4 pattern that tops out at 120bpm in 7/8. That said, this is NOT a viable tool for practicing asymmetrical compound meters. If this changes, my review will change to 5 stars. The aforementioned feature could be extremely beneficial for visually keeping up with quick meters (which is something with which a lot of people struggle when moving from high school literature to collegiate literature). Furthermore, should this change occur, I will gladly use this all the time and recommend it to my peers/colleagues. But, for now, I’m afraid the tempo/meter limitations render this app inferior to other metronomic apps. Show more

Hi, I purchased this to help me with my compositions and music notation. I learned that there’s no time signature to select. And Temple does not go higher than 240 bpm. there’s no way you can do conducting with 140 bpm in 7/8 time signature. i’m very disappointed. Show more

Greetings developers! I was wondering if perhaps different styles could be implemented instead of just a weird looking ball. How about a small dot which is the same diameter as the line? Maybe a trailing path that fades option? Also a larger, more visible “start” “stop” button would be nice. Thank you so much, your work is greatly appreciated! Show more

Too bad tempo is variable only by incrementing with a nudge button.

This app has helped me tremendously get a true grasp on conducting. Thanks.

and more... never crashes. Use what the pros use.

I'm an adult music student who has never played in an ensemble before. This app is helping me learn to keep time by watching the conductor. I'm used to using a metronome so having metronomic sounds as an option in the app is a nice bridge for me. Show more

My go-to metronome while learning new pieces. Easy to use & versatile.

Liz Marshall, there is a Point Of View button that switches the pattern from ensemble to conductor. My response to a review of 3.0 version: Dividing 7 beats per measure 2+2+3 is the same as 4+3 which _is_ included and is the more common division. Seven beats per measure is divided three ways, 4+3, 2+3+2, and 3+4. The bottom number in time signatures tells you what notation value gets the beat. It doesn't change the conducting pattern, so there's no reason to make any reference to it. You need to be able to determine how many beats there are in the measure. That determination may be affected by the lower number. You would probably want the 3+3 Six Pattern if you are in 6/8, rather than the 2+2+2 Six Pattern like if you were in 6/4. Notation determines the number of beats in the measure, not just the notated time signature. The uneven pulse issue may be attributed to the iPhone checking for email, or voicemail, or whatever other background activity. I suggest using it in airplane mode, although I use it with airplane mode _off_ and it's solid and accurate. Show more

This is the view of the ensemble, so is totally useless for conducting students trying to learn the patterns. I want a refund.

This is a great app and all, but it needs to have more conducting patterns. Some conducting patterns could be divided differently such as 7 as 2+2+3... And that option is not given. Also, this could be clearer on time signature.. Unless its all in 4... Maybe time signature pattern variations then in that case Show more

I have tried several of the other metronome apps, and this one is by far the best. Only this app gives a clear visual accompanied by numerical count. It was just what I needed to keep tempo. Definitely worth buying the full version. Show more

While may be useful to people learning conducting patterns, the uneven pulse makes it relatively useless as a metronome, at least on a 3G.

This is sweet :D Helpful

I love this app. Any music theory student or chorus / band / orchestra student should own this! The multiple styles (legato / staccato / normal) is brilliant! All of my students who own iPhones will be encouraged to buy this! At $1.99, it's a steal! Congrats! Show more
