250 BPM - Metronome

250 BPM (Beats per minute) Metronome

I designed this metronome series to be as simple and minimal as possible yet of the highest quality.

My goal was to design a metronome with very precise time accuracy, that can be played loud to cut through loud musical situations without being annoying.

I purposely avoid any accent, to keep this metronome versatile. As a result, it can be used for any time signature or time signature change, and offer just what is essential : A steady time reference.

I used Ableton Live to record the sound and process it. My goal was to get the best transient possible to allow a very precise time reference while at the same time keeping the sound dense with a moderate crest factor. I crafted the frequency response of the click very carefully to avoid harsh frequencies where our ear is very sensitive.

In order to keep this metronome lightweight, i decided to avoid any animation that can distract the attention of the musician.

This metronome is great for personal practice, in particular for drums, percussions or electrical instruments where some metronomes struggle to be heard but can be used by teachers or schools providing a solution for classrooms, where the loudness and size of a real metronome are just not good enough.

That's all, I hope you'll enjoy this series.

I went into SVT back in April and to see how fast my heart was I looked for a metronome, it’s really crazy to see it in front of me like this.

This is apparently the concert speed of Metallica's Creeping Death and as a guitarist playing at this speed makes me want to amputate my own arm off with a rusty spoon and get a prosthetic because my arm is simply too weak to go this fast

Came here to check how accurate the kid from whiplash’s 250 bpm count was, and it’s really good for literally nobody saying ‘count me a 250’ ever
