Maestro Lite

A musically visual metronome that inspires musical expression rather than mechanical execution.
When practicing with this metronome, the animated beat patterns will reinforce the peripheral vision used when following a conductor.

Be able to practice without the click, while keeping to a strict tempo.
Always know where you are INSIDE the beat with the traditional musical beat patterns developed over ages of musical performance practice, not an arbitrary circle or side to side motion for all meters and styles.

This metronome is an invaluable learning tool for conductors when using the Conductors Point of View.

`All the conducting patterns are based on Max Rudolfs Grammar of Conducting and my professional conducting experience of 20+ years.

A note about pattern variations and reductions:

A 5/4 bar can be divided either 3+2 or 2+3 depending on the music.

The Reduced style:

At faster tempos, a legato 3 pattern turns into a one pattern while still clicking the three beats.
A 6(2+2+2) changes into 3 while a 6(3+3) changes into 2 while still clicking 6 beats.

The Automatic Reduction setting automatically adjusts the pattern when the tempo reaches a level that requires it.
Switching the Reduced Pattern switch on, forces the reduced pattern at all tempos.

Conductors Point of View - automatically flips the beat pattern for conductors to learn and practice the patterns.
This mode shows you the path the tip of your baton should take while conducting.

Performers Point of View - the conductors beat pattern as seen from the ensemble musicians.
Recommended view while practicing your instrument.
