Topic: Dsi Metronome Questions

I'm wondering about getting this metronome for my Dsi even though I have a metronome and an iPod app metronome. So I need some answers to questions to know if I should get this.

What is the range? (In BPM)
Can this app do odd time signatures? (Specifically 8/4, 6/8, 5/4, and 9/8)
Is it loud enough to hear over a piano?
Can it stress subdivisions? (1, 2 counting in 6/8 etc.)

I believe those are all of my questions for now. Thank you.

Ok, I think I can answer most of your questions:
Range - 30-250 BPM
Time signature patterns - 0-7 Beat measures, eighth, sixteenth and eighth not triplet patterns
Loudness - It should be able to be heard over a piano, as it uses the DSi speaker's intervals so test it out with standard DS game music over your piano. It you can hear the DS's music over your piano, it should be fine
Subdivisions - It stresses the downbeat of each note but can't do non-downbeat patterns in anything but one (i.e. nothing with the beats per measure over 7 or any non-quarter note beats in anything but 1)

So, there you have it. I hope that helps.

Exactly.

Thanks, I may get this app because my metronome cannot emphasize any beats.
