Simply the best musician’s tool – PolyNome Pro: Review

Short version: the smartest and most thorough tool I’ve ever seen, it does anything you want it to do and more. Buy it, no brainer. In depth: I’ve been playing around with it for almost a week, and I’m just amazed by everything you can do with this metronome! I’m a pro drummer and teacher, I bought a fair share of metronomes in the past. Here are a few genius features that makes PolyNome unique: - playlists, allowing you to program virtually any tune/odd song structure and practice it. Best thing is you can create a full tune frame really quickly. Programmed a click for a weirdly structured tune in 10minutes, and it works like a charm (tune is 7/4,7/4,11/8,3/4,3/4,3/4,5/4 etc...) - any time signature truly programmable, with all the sounds you could want, with always an opportunity to have bar counts, subdivisions, volume control, random silences... I wish I had this app back when I started studying odd meters and metric modulations! You can just explore any possibility and hear them the way that helps you the most, it’s just nuts. - AMAZING app for learning AND teaching! I teach Alan Dawson’s ritual to my students, can input it all in the app, and make my students learn/practice the entire thing or rudiment by rudiment. Best is the ability to hear what it sounds like when the student is not so comfortable with reading. This point actually goes for anything really, you can hear stuff you can’t play yet, just amazing. - Practice tracking: it looks very well done for people that care about that, tracking how much time you spend on any given exercice. I’m a believer that results are more important than time spent, but I guess it’s a great way to see what’s up when results are not met :) - last but not least: this app is just smart, or I guess its developer is haha. It just feels right, logical and limitless, allowing you to work on any musical situation, not limited by the software. Honestly: bravo for making this! Buy it, no brainer, best tool ever.
