LA Violin Shop has partnered with a team of talented developers to bring you Metro X, a new tool built for the way musicians practice, rehearse, and teach today.
Metro X is more than just a metronome. It brings together the best of TonalEnergy Tuner and forScore, and adds even more.
A Metronome That Keeps Everyone Together
The metronome is clean and approachable, with no fuss. What makes it stand out is its ability to connect with other devices in the room.
Gone are the days of a string quartet huddling around one metronome, straining to stay together. The Sync function brings the whole group together with a flashing, customizable orb overlaid directly on your sheet music. Don’t care for the orb? No problem. You can toggle to a Screen Edge pulse (like forScore) or even have your Apple Watch pulse with each beat.
Sync goes beyond the metronome, too. When the teacher turns the page, every student’s device turns with it. Classroom instruction and group score study have never been more synchronized.
Your Sheet Music Library, Built In
When you’re connected to the internet, you can browse and download from IMSLP’s catalog without ever leaving the app. You’ll still have to wait out the 20-second download timer, but that’s a lot better than spending another minute digging through your files and organizing the PDF into your digital score reader.
As you’d expect, you can organize your sheet music into setlists and annotate it however you like.
Play: Your Pocket Accompanist
The Play function lets you practice with piano accompaniment for the piece you’re working on. Choose from Metro X’s growing library, or add your own recording. No more scrolling through voice memos to find the recording your teacher sent you.
You can also change the tempo of any recording and set it to loop, which makes it perfect for working through tricky passages.
Whether you’re practicing alone, rehearsing with your quartet, or teaching a full studio, Metro X is built to keep every musician in sync. The Free version includes unlimited PDF imports, so you can build your digital library at no cost. Metro X Pro is just $14.99 a year and adds unlimited annotations across multiple devices, iCloud backup, and the entire metronome sound pack. For schools, the Ensemble package is designed for school ensembles, with extra flexibility in the number of students and admin and parent controls. Download Metro X today and discover a simpler, more synchronized way to make music, brought to you by your friends at LA Violin Shop.
