Ritmotando - The Metronome

Ritmotando is a professional practice tool for musicians. It combines a high-accuracy metronome with MIDI drum and loop playback, and a full practice session system.

Ritmotando is a professional practice tool for musicians who want more than a simple click. It combines a high-accuracy metronome with MIDI drum playback, MIDI loop playback, and a full practice session system — all in one app.

Metronome

• BPM wheel from 20 to 400 with tap tempo and ±1 nudge buttons
• Time signatures from 1/2 to 24/16
• Visual beat indicator that flashes on every downbeat
• Customisable click sounds — choose accent, beat, and sub-beat independently from the full General MIDI percussion palette
• Count-in — configurable number of lead-in beats before playback starts
• Ghost click — alternate audible and silent bars to develop your internal timing, with optional subdivision displacement during the silent phase

Mixer

• Separate volume faders for the bar accent, each beat, 16th-note subdivisions (1, e, +, a), and 8th-note triplets
• Mute any layer instantly to practise with partial clicks
• MIDI channel mixer with per-channel volume and mute when a drum file is loaded

Practice automation

• Save any metronome configuration as a named preset (BPM, time signature, BPM ramp, duration)
• Chain presets into playlists that run automatically one after another
• BPM ramp modes: linear, logarithmic, and random — ideal for speed-building exercises
• Stop modes: fixed duration or fixed number of repetitions

MIDI drum player

• Load any standard MIDI drum groove and play it in perfect sync with the metronome click
• Bring your own meter — set the time signature on the preset and the groove follows, whether you are counting in 4/4, 5/4, 7/8, or any meter your music demands
• General MIDI drum map with named channels (kick, snare, hi-hat…)
• Independent per-channel volume and mute so you can solo or remove any drum part

MIDI loop player

• Load General MIDI arrangements and play them alongside the click in any time signature — from straightforward 4/4 to the most complex odd meters
• Full mixer with per-channel MIDI control alongside the loop

Practice journal

• Log every session automatically with date, BPM, duration, and freeform notes
• Review your history and track progress over time
