Metro X: Tune. Keep time. Play along. On every device you own.
Metro X is one app for every musician: a tuner accurate to 0.1 cent, a metronome you can see, piano accompaniments to play along with, and your sheet music, with every tool floating right on the score. One account on iPhone, iPad, iPhone Duo, Apple Watch, Android and metrox.app. Free to start; Metro X Pro from $2.99 a month with a 7-day free trial.
Five tools, one score
- BEAT: Metronome and the ORB. 50 to 600 BPM, subdivisions, an accented downbeat, meters from 2 to 12, tap tempo and Bluetooth delay calibration. The patent-pending ORB floats on top of your score and pulses with every beat. More about the metronome
- TUNE: Tuner to 0.1 cent. Accurate from the lowest bass string to the top of the piano. Halo, Arc, Line or Strobe views, strings in pure fifths, a drone with fifth and octave, seven temperaments and Concert A from 410 to 480 Hz. More about the tuner
- NOTE: Score reader. A PDF library with Recent, Starred, Sets and search, free public-domain scores from IMSLP, annotation with Apple Pencil, a stylus or your finger, Bluetooth page-turner pedals, and scores that sync to every device. More about the score reader
- PLAY: Piano accompaniment (new). Accompaniments for voice, violin, cello, flute and clarinet from public-domain scores. Steady, Practice or Expressive; 75, 90, 100 or 110% of the written tempo; loop any bars, repeat with a rest, climb a tempo ladder and save presets. More about Play
- SYNC: Sync rooms (patent pending). Everyone in the room hears the same beat, on iPhone, iPad and Android together, with Apple Watch and the web app following. Hosting a room is free. More about Sync rooms
- Apple Watch. A haptic metronome on your wrist that follows the phone's beat or a Sync room, plus remotes for the metronome, the Play player and page turns. More about Apple Watch
Every device on the stand
On iPad, on the inner display of iPhone Duo and on unfolded foldables, Metro X switches to a wide layout with the full page of your score and the tools beside it. Android phones, tablets and foldables run the same app, with annotation by S Pen or finger, and a Sync room can mix Android, iPhone and iPad on one beat. The web app at metrox.app has the Beat, Tune, Note and Play tabs in your browser.
