Metronome is designed with the practicing musician in mind which means that it's fast and easy to use. Nearly all of Metronome's functions and settings can be changed by using a single key. You won't have to put your instrument down to change the tempo (arrow keys) or the accent beat (number keys). Stop and start by tapping the space bar (or the Enter or Return keys). All these things can be done 'on the fly' without having to stop and restart the metronome.
This helps a lot if you are practicing something that you want to slowly speed up. No need to put down your instrument to

What's New
Version 1.8.3:
- Metronome now begins immediately when started.
- Fixed a bug where bar counting during acceleration became erratic.
- Fixed a mysterious bug where the acceleration rate in the Accelerator Panel wouldn't let you enter a negative value to allow you to de-accelerate.
- Fixed a bug where users on pre-Leopard Mac OS X would see a useless 'Set Volume' button on the Countdown timer's window. Volume control over individual sounds used in Metronome is not supported on pre-Leopard systems.

This helps a lot if you are practicing something that you want to slowly speed up. No need to put down your instrument to adjust the speed, just hit the equals key and keep playing.
But with Metronome you don't even have to do that. The Accelerator increases the tempo at a rate you control. Why? So you can start a difficult piece slowly, and very gradually speed up without stopping to reset your metronome's tempo. The Accelerator will do it for you. You control the rate of increase AND when it increases and when it stops increasing. It's easy.
Metronome comes with two sounds, a snare rimshot for the click and a cow bell for the bell, but you can change the sounds to any ones you want using the Preferences. When you are choosing new sounds, you can preview/play them first.

I checked running processes and the CPU is 3.9% occupied. iMac December 2009 model.
And oh, I made these for myself but if anyone wants Logic's metronome sound, get this

Zip contains 2 aif files, an accent and a click.

- Metronome now starts immediately when the space bar is pressed (or when any of the other ways of starting Metronome is used).
- And the missing or corrupt sounds warning will no longer appear if users move Metronome to a new location, which was causing those warnings.

- sometimes I've got a message saying that the sound selcted is corrupted, and I have to select it again. (actually the "Cow Bell" sound, chosen as "Bell sound")
- it doesn't start in sync when hitting the space bar
Apart from that, I love it. ;-)

Many thanks to the developer for this app.

If you don't care about having a bell accent on anything above beat 10, then you can still use the newer 1.8 version. You can check if the bug has been fixed and the fixed version available via the app's Check For Update... menu item
