What is Weird Metronome?

Weird Metronome is a program that acts as a metronome, displaying a blinker and using your computer's speakers to play its beat. But this isn't just any old metronome. I designed it with Easter European folk music in mind, so my main priority was to have it be able to play any weird meter you want. The result is that you can set it to play a measure of any length you want, with emphasis on any beat(s) you want, with sounds chosen from a library of nearly fifty percussion instruments.

I also designed Weird Metronome to be compact and efficient. I stayed away from all the pretty buttons and displays that you'll see on other metronome software, because those just tent to make a confusing, unfamiliar interface that's too often painfully slow. Well, you can tell that this baby's no-nonsense right from the start. The interface is straightforward, clear, and easy to use.

Finally, I wanted to make my metronome program free, because that's what I always wanted back before I made it. So it is! Please use it in good health, and I hope you get as much use from it as I and thousands of others do.
