Click the dots above to cycle through: strong → weak → secondary accent → rest.
Swing applies to eighth-note subdivisions or finer. Try 50–66% for a triplet-like feel.
Automatically targets the nearest open string. Click a string to lock the target.
Adjust to match a band or piano (commonly 440 or 442 Hz).
Play X bars, then mute Y bars to test your internal sense of time.
Increase automatically from the current tempo to build speed through difficult passages.
Kepma Multi-Function Metronome: how to use this tool. From basic tempos to swing, compound rhythms, and intermittent muting, it offers flexible beat control for everyday practice.
Start with one clear practice task and change one setting at a time. Check the selected tuning, scale or rhythm before comparing the display and the sound. Where playback is available, begin at a comfortable volume and listen to a short passage before adding notes or increasing speed. Return to your own guitar and repeat that passage to check whether you can reproduce the notes, timing or fretboard relationship. Keep a short record of the settings you chose and the part that still needs work. In your next session, review the same task before switching to a new one.
Choose a small musical goal before starting: keeping an even pulse, recognising a note, or understanding one shape. Work on that goal for a few minutes instead of changing several controls together. Check the selected instrument layout against your own instrument, especially after using an alternate tuning or switching handedness.
Compare what you hear with what you see. Say the note names or count the beats aloud, then repeat the exercise without relying on the screen. If an answer or performance is uncertain, slow down and check one element at a time. A visual result is most useful when you can explain it and reproduce it yourself.
For a fair comparison, keep the device, volume and settings consistent. Stop playback before changing to another exercise. Review the feature list above to choose the next task, and return to the directory when you need a different kind of practice tool.
