You should be able to find it by searching for “Musical” in the Android Market.
Musical Pro (hopefully Musical Lite soon) is also available on the Amazon Appstore.

I’m guitarist and I really do need a metronome. Android don’t seem to have very good metronomes available, your app looks brilliant but I can’t seem to find it. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good metronome or how to download Christopher’s metronome? All help would be appreciated.

I have a HTC Wildfire running Android version 2.2

I’m considering revamping the metronome this summer, but I don’t have any confirmed features yet.
The Pro version has multitouch capabilities for drums and piano if your phone supports it. What device do you have?

Hmmm. My comment never showed up. Anyway, I am hoping for more time sigs, such as 5/4, 7/8 etc. I see no uses for 1/4. I also need higher BPMs that the limit of 200 this app has. A lot of straight ahead jazz tunes really rip along and 200 is simply too slow.

Polyphony on keyboards would be useful. Only being able to play one note at a time was a bummer.

I have been satisfied with the free version. I see no use for drums that can only play one instrument at a time. Can’t have a snare hihat at the same time. Makes it kinda worthless to me.

Oh and don’t worry so much about GUI’s. Usefulness is a lot more important than ‘pretty’ is, in my viewpoint.
Thanks so much for your consideration.

Please update the metronome. 1/4 time is simply not needed, but time sigs like 5/4 , 7/8 and others are.
Also please consider raising the upper limit of 200 BPM. I have needed much faster tempo ability for some straight ahead jazz stuff. Believe it or not, 200 can be too slow.

I’d be very grateful for added time sigs and faster tempos.
Thanks so much!

Hi, In future versions, would you be able to incorporate mixed meters?

I just bought the Pro version and I have to say I am quite impressed. In a future update (somewhere down the line obviously) I would love to see pitchable drums but other than that, I love the metronome, keyboard (tried your easy to learn stuff and can’t wait to download tons more). I am a pecussionist and percussion instructor and I love the functionality of this app. I am happy to help support programs like this, so please keep up the good work.

thanks again
Alex

oh and I am running on a Droid Eris w/Android 1.5

I use SoundPool, which is much lower level than media player
It just provides a convenient way to setup and trigger short sounds at the core level

Thanks for the information Christopher. I am wondering if you called the media player to play back the “tick-tock” sound of the metronome or if you accessed core audio?
