[nabs-l] Musical metrinomes

Sun Mar 23 23:35:18 UTC 2014

Concert B♭ is good for band.  Most mets I've seen give you a concert A
(440 HZ), the B♭ for band is somewhere around I think 466HZ. Depends
which met you get, there's so many different models.

A cheap simple one probably would have an adjustable time signature,
adjustable tempo, and maybe a few tuning notes.

But really, consider investing in an iOS device. There's a free app
for iOS called TempoPerfect that has a huge range of tempos,
subdivision, and time sigs. The Apex doesn't have any type of SDK (as
far as I know), so developing an Apex-specific one is very much out of
the question.
