Beat Vibe is both a vibrating metronome and a programable beat machine aimed at both the flamenco player and non flamenco musician. Beat Vibe is pre-programmed with over 50 rhythm patterns from all major palls such as Bulerias, Alegrias, Tangos and more, including non-flamenco rhythms like Samba, Bosa Nova, Rock, Raggae and many more. You can easily program your own rhythm patterns, share them online, and download from the many rhythm patterns other users have shared.
The unique "Song Mode" lets you set a sequence of rhythm patterns to play, setting the number of repetitions and tempo. You can create rich percussion loops or practice change of tempo (subida)!
You can set Beat Vibe to vibrate letting you not only see and hear the rhythm but also feel it. Put the phone in your pocket and feel the rhythm as you play.

Practice anywhere
real pro guitar player
This app makes it easy to practice anywhere. The audio is good. And it is very easy to use.
Compas training
irritated w portrait mode
The biggest reason why I love this app is because i can visualize the timing and anticipate the accents (3,6,8,10,12) This app while simple but very easy to use has helped me get my Flamenco up to speed and hopefully synchronized with other Flamenco players from Spain.
Awesome! Great tool.

Fantastic app. A great flamenco metronome at an unbeatable price. It comes with several variants of all flamenco rhythms and quite a few non-flamenco rhythms and to program your own rhythm pattern is a breeze. The vibrate feature is awesome, I can put the phone in my pocket while playing and be exactly on compas.
Great, totally worth it!

I'm not a flamenco player, and this app is totally great. It comes with many useful rhythms I can practice playing along with, like swing and rock. And the clock display of the rhythm pattern is fabulous, really lets me know where I am in the bar and not lose myself. Nicely done.
Great Application!!

I am a flamenco dance instructor and this app has completely gotten rid of my need for the Solo Compas CDs. It's fully customizable, so you can add cajon, different styles of palmas and more! You can even layer the different instruments so that you get a very rich sound. I have been able to add Jaleo, and a FANTASTIC Solea por Buleria and I'm planning on adding even more. I have already used this in my dance classes by plugging my phone into our sound system. It's even better that you can slow down and speed up the tempo!! Wonderful tool! Other flamenco metronomes go for $200+! This is a steal and well worth the $10!!! The only way I could think of it improving is by offering a feature that allows you to increase the tempo gradually so that students can work on subidas and general speed increases.
Great Application!
Bulerias
Who would think that a flamenco compas would be available in my favorite geeky techi fun tool, my iPhone. Well I took a chance and searched anyway and couldn't believe what I found. So far I am 100% satisfied with the app. I would gladly accept any updates (start button-ahem), but this Flamenco guitarist gives it a 5 star rating. I haven't spent enough time to create my own compas and right now am only using the beats, but thats the beauty of this program, it has many possibilities. For now I will use it as a handy Bulerias compas' metronome, tomorrow - who knows...
garbage
nicavero
I had great expectations here but so far the only sound Im getting is an annoying vibrate, no palmas, drums or other 25 sounds promised. Also the vibration is not in beat with the clock!. Last the slider to increase tempo does not work. I am waiting a response from Tiv studios for a fix but right at this moment I feel like I just threw 10 bucks out of the window.
Great app

Very nice considing that I could only find 1 other flamenco metronome for 300 dollars!! -- I would really appreciate if you could add an option for the clock hand to jump from numbers instead of smoothly running like a clock! It is much easier to use it then. I would love you for it:) -- Then this would be the best app onthe store!
Not good for pro gigs
Dreamdance1
I was looking for something to have in the background while I played my Nylon string at gigs. I'm sure it could be good for other applications but not for me. There was not enough to pick from and the sounds were not good.
Good for Gun Range
MrItch
My local gun range only allows 1 shot per 2 seconds. I set the metronome, and it vibrates in my pocket so I know how quickly I can fire! Too expensive for this use though... :(
