PolyNome: THE Metronome
iOS Universel / Musique
The most powerful metronome on iOS/mac. Used by Vinnie Colaiuta, Peter Erskine, Virgil Donati, Dennis Chambers & more.
Whether you're practising rudiments, running a live show, mapping a song, or building a practice routine — PolyNome does it all. Designed by a musician, for musicians.
