FlashBeat: a visual metronome

Description

Let's get this straight: FlashBeat has nothing to do with a Jennifer Beals movie. Think of it as a visual metronome. In addition to the ability to hear the tempo, you'll see it as the entire screen flashes with the beat. So......Flash....Beat.

But why would you want such a thing?

Let's say you're in a situation where you want a metronome, but you can't hear the darn thing once you've started playing (like in a bagpipe band or a wicked loud rock band).

Put your FlashBeat somewhere where you can all see it, and bingo! You're on the same beat, because the entire screen is flashing the tempo (see, there's that logical name thing again).

Or you're laying down a track and don't want the "tick-tock" sound in your recording. FlashBeat to the rescue.

Originally developed for bagpipe bands, this application is sure to be of value to musicians of all types. And though the full-screen tempo reminder is the primary feature, you can choose to have the traditional sounds accompany the flashing.

There are more features already in the works, including supporting more time signatures. Let us know your requests.

FlashBeat -- it's about time!

Perfect for our pipe band
     

Every piper and drummer knows the situation: the pipe major calls out the beat, strike in, aaaaannd......the tempo goes to whatever people are comfortable with. With this handy lil app, we can see the tempo that the P/M called out, and try to keep with it. We tried this last night in rehearsal, and it was a challenge to break out of the habit of going with whatever feels comfy. We had it in the middle of the circle (our bass drummer couldn't make it) and everyone could see it -- really kept us honest. It might be a little trickier to see in daylight, but then we'd probably be in the competition circle and wouldn't be allowed to use it anyway. :)
This is a simple app that does one thing and does it well.

Great tool for Musicians!
