ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a metronomic apparatus and MIDI sequence controller. The metronomic apparatus comprises a visual display which indicates not only the beat of a piece of music but also gives an indication of the occurence of preset between beat timing signals. The user who takes his cue from the between beat timing signals can vary his playing in advance of or behind the beat. The MIDI sequence controller comprises an easily triggerable switch device which allows a musician, during a performance, to edge a MIDI sequencer forward or backward to resynchronize with the playing of musicians who have fallen out of synchronization.
