Muted bars (gap click)

With muted bars (a “gap click”), the metronome plays some bars and goes silent for others: for example, 3 bars on and 1 off. You keep playing through the silence and, when the click comes back on the “1”, you hear right away whether you rushed, dragged or stayed in time.

How the log works

How to use it

The “Practice” section opens on “Muted bars”. Choose how many bars play and how many are silent, then tap “Play”. The display shows whether the bar has the click or is silent. The light keeps flashing during the silence if you want; turn it off to check by ear only.

From easiest to hardest

Tap “Open” to start with the metronome already set.
Stage Click Silent What for Open
1 3 1 Getting started: one bar on your own at a time. Open
2 2 2 Half the time without the click. Open
3 1 1 Alternating: the click only confirms. Open
4 1 3 Almost alone: the click shows up now and then. Open
5 4 4 Long phrases with no help. Open

Frequently asked questions

What is a gap click?

It is a click with “gaps” in it. Drummers and other musicians use it to train their internal clock, because the metronome stops being a crutch and becomes just a check.

When does the click come back?

Always on the “1” of the bar after the last silent bar. If you land together with it, you held the tempo.

Does the light keep going during the silence?

By default, yes. Turn off “Light during the silence” to practise by ear only, without looking at the screen.

Does it work with other time signatures and subdivisions?

Yes: time signature, grouping, subdivision and BPM are still in the options. The whole bar goes silent, subdivisions included.
