Patent Pending

    In 1696 Etieune Loulie made the first recorded attempt to apply the pendulum to a metronome. Musicians have had to deal with time dictators ever since. It's time we pulled ourselves out of The Dark Ages. 

Introducing...  A Revolution in Tempo Management.

                  ®

PORTABLE TEMPOMETER and PROGRAMMABLE METRONOME

"It's About Time"

21st Century Tempo Management. This Is The Future.

Your Music Speedometer. Just play and it follows you.

Control the tempo instead of it controlling you!

Off that click! Let your music breathe.

Push or pull without being in conflict with a click, and still have complete control over tempo.

FAR LESS DISTRACTING THAN A METRONOME.

Tired of being blamed for tempo problems? Show them you're not the one.

Need Kickoffs? The REF has a databank of 66 programmable preset tempi.

"Timekeeper Extraordinaire!" "Did exactly what it was supposed to do, without a lot of fuss and setup time." "Think of the arguments you could avoid." - Modern Drummer Magazine Dec. '03.
