Online Metronome
What is metronome?
A metronome is device that produces knock sound in regular interval (beats per minute - BPM). We can still get in touch with mechanical metronome of triangular shape with pendulum and adjustable weights. The first manufacturer of the metronome was Jan Nepomuk Mälzel, who built it for the purposes of the composer Ludwig van Beethoven [1].
Nowasays, we can see many various types of electronic and digital metronoms, which are easy to use and offer many advanced functions like volume change, different types of knocks or a virtual pendulum display.
