How to install
skip - skip back

First click on the button or link to download the program:

Buy Bounce Metronome Pro Now!

Setup Bounce Metronome Pro [7 MB]

Includes your free 30 day Test drive with all the features unlocked.

Download With Free Test Drive

Or if you prefer to download it first and run as a separate step, then right click on the button or link, and choose Save Link As - many people do that, and a common place to save it is on the desktop. It doesn't matter how you do it or where you save it.

The right click method to do it in two steps means you can run it later, and don't need to do it immediately after it downloads. So it is often the best way to do it if you have a particularly slow connection. You can just leave it downloading on your computer, and then come back later when the download is finished to run the installer.

Either way, be sure to wait until your web browser tells you that the download was successful before you run the installer. Please be patient, as this may take up to a minute, or several minutes if you have a particularly slow connection speed.

Step through - Once the download is complete
skip- skip back

Once the download is complete, the browser may offer to run it automatically. If not, look in the save folder for Setup_Bounce_Metronome, and run it (usually with a double click). FireFox users can find it in its menu, under Tools | Downloads (Ctrl + J).

You may then be asked to give your permission for the program to run.

On Vista It requires administrative privileges to make shortcuts in the All Programs menu, also on the desktop (if you ask for that), so you may be asked to give it permission to install.

You may be warned that the publisher of the software couldn't be verified. Unfortunately, I am unable to support this verification initiative in its present form. Not many software publishers do.

Just say Yes it is okay to go ahead.

Step through - The install
skip- skip back

After you download, wait for the program to run, and you should see something like this screen shot:

first page of installer - license agreement
(this is just an image - so don't click here, click on the installer when it runs)

It rarely happens, but you could get an error message about an "invalid checksum" instead of this screen. If this happens to you, then it is nothing to worry about. Just download the file again using one of these alternative links: Mirror 1 - Mirror 2 - Mirror 3 and try again. The normal reason for this is that the installer file didn't download completely - if you check the file size you'll probably find that it is smaller than it should be.

Review and accept the license, choose Next.

You will see something like this:
- Second page - select optional components
(screen shot image only)

Decide whether you want a desktop shortcut, and review the other selections in this window.

Press Next.

Third page - select install directory

Glance at the install directory to see if that is where you want to install it - the preset location of C:\Program Files\Bounce Metronome will be suitable for most.

Under Vista, the preset location is C:\Programs\Bounce Metronome - for the reasons see Preset install folder for Vista.

Click Install.

Fourth page of installer - Completed

Finally click Close, and the installation is complete. Bounce Metronome will run straight away.

After Bounce Metronome Pro starts up, select from the droplist of metronomes in the main window - e.g. the Polyrhythm, Swing, Drum & Dance, Basic or Pro metronome or whatever, depending on your interests.

When you first run the metronome, you may need to adjust the synchronisation of visuals with the ticks which you do in the Bounce Preferences (Ctrl + 220) window.

To run it again in the future, look for the Bounce Metronome icon on your desktop, or go to Start | Programs | Bounce Metronome|Bounce Metronome.

You can delete the installer once you are done - it is only needed to install the program.

Note that if you ever wish to roll back to any particular previous version of Bounce Metronome Pro, all the installers for earlier dates are kept for reference on the What's new page - this is the equivalent of the download guarantee scheme provided by some software retailers - except that it is 100% free.

This installer is very system friendly. It doesn't change any system files or settings. All it does is to unpack Bounce Metronome and all its files into its folder, and add a shortcut to the program to your desktop (if wished) and the Start menu.

Adding Extra Skins, Video formats, Csound and Audio Formats
skip - skip back

These have been left out of the installer to help reduce its size.

Bounce Metronome Pro comes pre-installed with a few skins, but there are many more examples available. See the Extra Downloads page.

You can also download the Timidity plug in which lets you convert midi files to wav, and to add sound to exported animations of your rhythms.

Bounce Metronome Pro comes pre-installed with avi as its only video format for export or import. If you want to save in other video formats, or if you are interested in using video animations for animated textures such as animated animated seas and skies, you can get the MEncoder plug in from the Extra Downloads page.

The program also comes with support for recording to mp3 already installed, as well as uncompressed audio (.wav). This is enough for many users. Hwever, some may want to add support for the .Ogg file format which is preferred by some musicians as an alternative to mp3. You can also add support for legacy sound formats such as Sun Au.

Then the CSound plug-in add adds extra instrument sounds you can use with the program for saved audio clips, and also to play in real time too.

If you are interested in any of these, again visit the Extra Downloads page to add CSound or extra sound formats.

What the installer does
skip - skip back

This installer doesn't change any system files or settings. All it does is to

  • Unpack Bounce Metronome and all its files into its folder
  • Add a shortcut to your desktop (if wished) and the Start menu.
  • Add the file association for Bounce Metronome rhythms and projects (to make it easy to open files made with the program).

If you install it in Vista you may notice that it installs into C:\Programs instead of C:\Program Files - this is for techy reasons to do with the way the hidden virtual store works in Vista. You can change this to any location you please - but if you have UAC switched on, it's probably best not to install it into C:\Program Files. For details, see Preset install folder for Vista.

You may be asked to give your permission for the program to run. On Vista It requires administrative privileges to make the shortcuts. On XP or Vista, You may also be warned that the publisher of the software couldn't be verified. Unfortunately, I am unable to support this verification initiative in its present form. Not many software publishers do.

Just say Yes it is okay to go ahead.

How to update to the latest version.
skip back

Just download and run the installer as usual.

All your settings will be kept, only the program itself and any new and changed files needed by the program will be updated.

After the download, if you want to check that it has updated successfully, go to Help | About. The date there should match the date at the head of this page.

To find out what's new with this upload see What's New.

If your aim is to reset the settings for Bounce Metronome Pro, a quick way nearly always as effective as a reinstall, is to go to File | Reset Nearly Everything in the program. If you do want to do a complete reinstall, then be sure to uninstall it first to erase all your existing files and settings. You can do that from within the program from Help | About | Uninstall or via Add / Remove Programs in Windows.
