[nabs-l] Musical metrinomes

You are correct on the Apex thing.  Thing is horrable, but the 
only thing I have.  I do not have money for an IOS device.  I 
think my TVI was putting in an order for the visually impared 
kids in my district to get an i-pad, but that was a long time 
ago.

Concert Bâ™­ is good for band.  Most mets I've seen give you a 
concert A
(440 HZ), the Bâ™­ 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.

 Wow, that tuneing may come in handy for band.  Would it? And do 
you know
 the cheapest one price? I want to save as much of my money if I 
can.

 Well, it depends on the device.  If you get the super fancy ones 
(which
 cost a lot more the ten dollars), they may not be so easy 
because they
 probably have a screen which you would have to navigate.  The 
cheap one
 that I have has one switch and a dial.  The switch has three 
positions.
 All the way to the left is completely off, in the middle plays a 
concert A
 (the A above middle C) which string players can use to tune and 
then all
 the way to the right plays the metronome.  The dial sets the 
tempo.
 That’s about it.  It’s really easy to use.  That’s how 
most of the cheap
 ones are.

 Correct.  How easy is it to use, not being able to see?

 Yes.  You should be able to find one for about $10 at any music 
store.  I
 would be surprised if they were much more expensive than that.  
I mean,
 you just need a cheap little metronome.  You don't need anything 
fancy,
 right?

 Hey! I have $12.  When I go out with my friend, this week, I'll 
see if we
 can stop by the music store.  Is that where it is?

 Even if you do use YouTube, the recording will not be at the 
speed you
 want.  Buying one is probably your best bet.  They really are 
very cheap.
 Something like five dollars.  Maybe less.

 Have you checked YouTube? They may have a recording.  However, I 
would
 simply recomend buying one if you can.

 Hi Marisa,
 I don't know of any that would work on the apex.  Do you have an 
iPhone?
 there are several apps that would work with an iPhone, and iPad 
or an iPod
 touch.  You can also buy digital metronomes from any music 
store.  They
 are very cheap.

 Hey,

 Does anyone know of any online metranomes for free, that would 
work on the
 Apex? Or, perhaps, a very very long metranome recorded?
