Release notes

v2.27

The metronome can now count the beats out loud

Each beat can now be counted out loud, as "one, two, three, four" or "ichi, ni, san, shi". Layered on the click, it tells you which beat you are on without looking at the screen.

Voice count and voice language in the audio settings, added in v2.27
Voice count and voice language in the audio settings, added in v2.27

Changes

  • Added Voice count to the SOUND settings. Choose Off, Click+voice, or Voice only. Voice only counts with the voice and drops the click on the beat (guide and base notes still play).
  • Choose English or Japanese as the voice language. The first time you turn counting on, it is set to the display language.
  • The count is the beat number within the bar (up to 16), and muted beats are not counted. In a custom beat, every beat is counted on the beat. At fast tempos, a voice that would run into the next beat fades out just before it.
  • Under Advanced, you can set the voice volume and output channel. MP3 export includes the voice.
  • Added Cycle voice count and an action that sets voice count to Off, Click+voice, or Voice only to the keyboard shortcuts (no default key; assign one in the shortcut settings).
