[BETA] Metronome

DiNoGames · 06-27-2008, 01:54 PM

Zune Applet: Metronome
Creator: DiNoGames
Version: Beta
Description:
As a result of 3 hours of work I present a Metronome for the Zune.

The Metronome was designed to work with frequences of up to 208 bpm but for some reason the Zune seems not to work at a steady speed in the higher bpm regions.... You will notice this when listening to the ticking sound. I will investigate where the problem lies (but it seems to me that the SoundEffect.Play method needs differing time to play a sound each time it is called). Away from that I think the timing works well in the lower regions. It should work fine at least until 120 bpm. But I am no musician so please test it out yourself.

Anyway, just start it and chose the bmp rate with up and down DPad keys.

Press BACK to quit. Thats it.

Before you start the app, turn your volume all the way up.

Glad to see it made some sense to make it

I am no musician, so just a question: Is there anything serious missing to make it a useful metronome?
