Rhythm practice using a metronome is indispensable for any musician, especially for the drummer and percussionist. In
the past, rhythm practice has been excruciatingly dull and boring, consisting simply of striking a practice pad in time with
a metronome. Furthermore, since you have only a subjective judgement as to whether or not your rhythm is correct, many
players find it difficult to keep themselves motivated to practice.
That's where the BEATLAB mini comes in; it's a training tool that lets you practice rhythm more accurately and enjoyably.
In addition to a versatile metronome function that includes a wide range of sounds, including human voice and real drum
pattern sounds, this unit provides a training function that detects and evaluates the discrepancy between the metronome
and the notes that you play. This means that you can develop a perfect sense of rhythm by using by treating rhythm training
as if you were playing a game.
Metronome function with a generous selection of patterns
The BEATLAB mini provides a generous selection of the rhythm patterns that are indispensable for practicing a percussion
instrument. The tempo can be adjusted over a wide range of 30-300 beats per minute, and you can specify the time
signature and rhythm individually to meet your rhythm training needs for a variety of songs and styles. In addition to
conventional electronic metronome sounds, there's also a rich range of PCM sounds. Mechanical metronome sounds that
won't fatigue your ear even at high-volume listening, male and female voices that make it easy to tell your beat within the
rhythm, and realistic drum pattern sounds with snare, cymbal and claves are some of the 30 available choices, meeting
the needs of drummers and percussionists in any musical style.
