Weird Metronome is a program designed to beat out time on a Windows computer using the Midi hardware present in most (all?) sound cards. It is able to play measures of length up to 1000 beats, with totally customizable emphasis of beats.
I wrote it to fill the needs of the eastern European folk music community, since many folk songs have weird meters like 11/16 or 21/32. Most metronome programs that currently available for free on the internet concentrate solely on normal western meters like 3/4, 4/4, and 6/8.
Another of my goals in making this program was to avoid bloat. Im sick of going to find software on the internet and it ends up being five megabytes for, say, a clock setting program. Where the hell is all that space going? Its like the authors are trying their hardest to include as many useless bits as possible.
So here it is, Weird Metronome, weighing in at eighteen kilobytes (in its Zip archive). For those non tech-heads among you, thats about a two or three second download on a 56k modem, and less than a second over DSL or digital cable. Note that you need to have Winzip or some other Zip utility in order to open this file. |
