About Pro Metronome
This online metronome keeps time entirely in your browser using the Web Audio clock, which is why the click stays rock-steady even at 300 BPM. A plain JavaScript timer drifts because it fires "about now"; here every beat is scheduled a fraction of a second ahead against the audio hardware clock, so the pulse lands exactly where it should bar after bar.
You get real musical control, not just a speed dial. Pick a time signature from 2/4 to 12/8, choose a subdivision (quarters, eighths, triplets or sixteenths so the in-between notes tick softly), and tap each beat dot to make it an accent, a normal beat or a rest. Five click voices — click, beep, wood, tick and cowbell — let the sound cut through whatever you are playing, and the swinging pendulum plus flashing downbeat give you a visual pulse when headphones are off.
Two practice aids do the heavy lifting. Tap-tempo finds the speed of a song when you tap along four or more times, and the tempo trainer nudges the BPM up automatically every few bars so you can build a difficult passage from slow to performance speed without touching a thing. The Italian tempo name (Largo through Prestissimo) updates as you move the dial.

Frequently asked questions
Because it does not rely on a normal timer. Each click is pre-scheduled against the Web Audio hardware clock roughly 100 ms in advance, so browser lag or a busy tab cannot shift the beat. The result is sample-accurate timing that holds steady across long sessions — far tighter than the setInterval drift most simple online tickers suffer from.
They are the traditional Italian tempo markings, each covering a BPM range: Largo (40–60), Adagio (66–76), Andante (76–108), Moderato (108–120), Allegro (120–168), Vivace (168–176), Presto (176–200) and Prestissimo (200–300). The label under the BPM number updates automatically so you can match a score that says "Allegro" without guessing the exact tempo.
Turn it on and it raises the tempo by a set amount (1, 2, 5 or 10 BPM) every few bars, up to your cap. This is the classic way to build speed on a tricky passage: you start slow enough to play it cleanly and let the metronome creep the tempo up so your hands adapt gradually instead of hitting a wall.
It adds softer clicks between the main beats so you can feel the internal pulse. Choose eighths for two clicks per beat, triplets for three, or sixteenths for four. Practising against a subdivision tightens your sense of where the off-beats fall and stops you rushing or dragging inside the beat.
Yes — tap any beat dot to cycle it through accent (loud), normal, or muted (silent). This lets you emphasise the downbeat, build a custom accent pattern for odd meters like 7/8, or silence beats to test whether you can keep time through the gaps.
