Magazine Review
“Have you ever found it difficult to play along with a standard click track? Bounce Metronome Pro is a PC application supporting all time signatures, swing, and lots of clever stuff like paradiddles, polyrhythms and gradual tempo changes. Its secret is incorporating various visual options such as 3D bouncing balls, animated drumsticks and conductor’s baton graphics. Rather like those used in karaoke machines, their rise and fall incorporates a ‘gravity bounce’ that feels like having your own conductor to help you keep in time.”

“... I found it reliable enough to abandon audio clicks altogether and use as a silent metronome, which also makes it useful for deaf musicians. Studio owners could display it on screen in their live rooms to keep players in time without them requiring headphones, while a special screen reader is available to blind musicians too....”

This is by far the most powerful and flexible metronome that I have ever used. GREAT software!
- J. Weiss
I love your polyrhythm metronome ... thanks for the very cool utility
- David Kaplowitz
Wow, Robert your software is so creative and inspiring! You're a true artist
- Kevin Hobby
...Bounce Metronome is really fantastic. The visual representation of rhythm is unique and invaluable for a frustrated beginning percussionist
- Greg Moores
I play with two polyrhythmic drummers. This will help a lot ... thanks for your wonderful tool
- Stan Lassiter
You have a truly great product. What I use it for is simulating being at a rehearsal and watching the conductor for tempo including time changes etc
..I'm a returning Trombonist (after 30 years) who had poor music reading skills. Bounce allows me to setup a simulated "conducted" environment with the scripts created for each piece... I use Bounce Metronome every day and have stopped using my handheld Metronome...
I have scripted all the music for the concert band I am a member of. ... I have a Computer Monitor/TV on my wall so I can see it above my music stand, a kind of conductor simulation. Nice Job!
- Dan DelProposto
Terrific Robert! This program should be in the arsenal of every musician. There's something about the bounce that keeps the practicing vibrant
It's a great and fun tool.
- Dan Axelrod
Wow! What a brilliant program!
... Thankyou again for providing me with this music software and the musical journey I am making with it. As an amateur and purely intuitive music maker, both TS and BM are opening so many 'musical' doors for me
Within minutes of downloading the software and just 'playing around' with its parameters, I was generating rhythms and beats and was literally conducting like a true professional. I learned more about time and signatures in those first few minutes than it had taken me a lifetime to from books!

I have been enjoying using your Bounce Metronome program to help with some of the complex timing of movements in Tai Chi. Your representations of time are very in sync with what I learn in Tai Chi...
Thanks for designing such a creative program
...Brian Eno said the problem with the computer is there isn't enough Africa in it. Well I find your program has some ancient China in it, some Africa, and some future in it.
