The sounds in Hey Metronome are varied so that you don’t run the risk of ear fatigue.

When you are looking at Hey Metronome, we hope you’ll be inspired by an interface that focuses on one parameter at a time and reminds you of why you’re practicing in the first place. Just say, “Hey metronome set the tempo to 120,” “Hey metronome, shuffle,” or “Hey Metronome, next song,” and you’re off. With Hey Metronome, you can put your earbuds on and control everything with your voice, from tempo and meter, to beat patterns, to what song you are practicing.
