Programmable Metronome with Automatic Switching of Time Signatures and Tempi (also manual switching with single key press).

Bounce Metronome Feature:
Pro and Basic version

Time signatures for 51 measures of Stravinsky's "Sacrificial Dance" from Rite of Spring - noted for its complex pattern of time signatures.

What is it?

It is a common feature of many styles of music that you have different sections with different tempi and time signatures.

What does it do?

You can set up a list of time signatures and other rhythms (as many as you like).
You can set the tempo for each rhythm in your list
You can set the number of measures to play for each rhythm, and it will go through your list automatically as you practise.
Alternatively, move from one rhythm to the next with a press of the up and down arrow keys.
Your rhythms can include time signatures with any number of subdivisions, odd time signatures, polyrhythms like 3:2 and additive rhythms like 3+2+3/8
In the more complex but more capable Pro version you can also set the instruments individually for each rhythm, and accent and skip beats, and use gradual tempo changes through any of the rhythms amongst other things.

For instance you could set Bounce metronome to play in 4/4 for 8 measures, then 2/4 for 4 measures, and then 5/4 for 16 measures, and set what tempo you want to use for each section. Or, for a more complex example, you could set it to go through all the time signature changes in Stravinski's Rite of Spring (say).
