Also, the light may be out of view of a vast number of the musicians in a large ensemble.
Furthermore, a flash of light and/or a single auditory queue gives no information to the musician as to how time is progressing between beats. The flashing lights and/or the speaker share the primary disadvantages of the rod and the clicking sound of traditional pendulum metronomes namely, these indicators work well only for those musicians within direct view of the metronome, and the auditory queue may be undesirable for live performances or recordings. These metronomes may include a dial or buttons for controlling the tempo, with one or more flashing lights and/or a speaker producing an auditory queue, such as a clicking sound, to indicate each beat.

Furthermore, the clicking sound may be undesirable for live performances or recordings.Ĭurrent electronic metronomes provide a similar function to traditional pendulum metronomes, typically in a portable unit. Traditional pendulum metronomes work well only for those musicians within direct view or audible range of the metronome. To adjust the tempo, a user adjusts the physical placement of the weight on the rod. The rod swings back and forth with a consistent tempo, and a mechanical structure inside the metronome produces a clicking sound on each swing of the rod. A pendulum metronome is a mechanical device using a weight on a rod to control the tempo. Musicians have used traditional pendulum metronomes for centuries. A metronome may be adjusted to indicate any one of a range of tempos commonly used in musical compositions.
Musicians use metronomes when they practice or perform in order to keep a consistent tempo and/or to synchronize multiple musicians playing multiple musical instruments.
The present invention relates to devices for indicating tempo or rhythm and, in particular, to metronomes using light.Ī metronome is a device that indicates a tempo or a rhythm.
