Korg MA1BL Visual Beat Counting Metronome, Blue

This is a great little metronome and functions exactly as described with lots of great features. Absolutely the only negative thing I can say is the on/off button is a little difficult to press sometimes.

Works great. This is the metronome my son's school wanted the beginner band students to get. Amazon's price was as usual, cheaper than the music store, and I am happy with my purchase. He had a different metronome a few years back that you couldn't adjust the volume on, so this is nice to be able to make it louder during percussion practice.

This metronome is simple to use, not obnoxious, and has every beat type a drummer needs.It's great.However, as noted in the title, they are NOT stick proof LOL. My son is on his FOURTH MA1.First one, age 10, it lasted 1 month before he got frustrated and hit it with the stick. Probably more than once. Bought another one.Second one, age 12, had it on the 14" tom to his right while practicing para-diddles, and decided to move from the snare to the toms. Oops. Broken screen.Third one, age 14, not sure what he did, but the screen is broken. He paid for #4 himself.If it wasn't a great metronone, we wouldn't keep buying them, but I need to gt a steel cage or something for it.

This metronome is a great value! It offers many excellent features that are easy to use. It can capture a tempo that you tap in, and then start clicking that tempo. It can be set to swiftly change the tempo by pendulum steps, instead of single digits. The automatic shutoff is invaluable - no wasted batteries. The available beat patterns and visual display are excellent. The volume and beeping sound is OK for most purposes. The only improvements I would suggest are a thinner profile, and recessing the volume button a little less to make it easier to adjust.

Update: it does not work anymore, it just could not be turned on. We changed batteries multiple times and very few times you can get it on but then it turned off itself. Most times I can't even turn it on. It is just frustrating, my impassioned kid does not wait to wait for it to work!!!! I am disappointed! We thought is a we'll know brand, it should last longer. :(Initial review:My teacher re comment this brand to me, I love it. Its surprisingly small, and it is so functional.

Exactly what I needed. A convenient, portable metronome, with a kickstand so you can set it on top of the piano or something. It isn't super loud, so you may not want this one, depending on your needs.

This metronome has great features and is compact for the price, but I wish the description had been clearer. This metronome does not make a "clicking" sound, but rather a beeping sound with two tones high for beat 1 and low for the following beats.For setting and getting a tempo with my band, the tones are quite annoying. I am going to return this and hopefully find a small/cheap metronome that clicks, even if I have to give up on some of the fancy beat counting and tempo tap features.

I bought this through Amazon, and am in the process of returning it.I own the Korg MA-30 and it is GREAT!This was (suppose to be) an upgraded model with more options.What I didnt like about it was:the On/Off button did not work well - it sometimes would turn on, other times it would not, had to press it at least twice to get it to power on and needed to apply more pressure to the small rubber button the 2nd and third try... yikes (possibly just mine did this?)the features didnt seem much better to me than the MA-30... yes it had a chromatic tuner (C through B... C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, etc all twelve tones) but who cares, I dont need it for thatThe pendulum gave a few options more than the MA-30, but no better (to me) then the MA-30. MA-30 works fine the way it isSo the MA-30 (again) works fine the way it is, and Ive NEVER had any problems with it (powering on, etc).Also: the MA-30 when powered on also starts the metronome, when you turn it on it also starts the metronome. The Korg MA1BL Visual Beat Counting Metronome however has an on/off button as well but AFTER you power it on you then have to press a separate button to start the metronome. Starting this metronome is a two-step process. The MA-30 starts when you power it on, one step. Of course there are other options to us than just a metronome on the Korg MA1, but again, I dont use or need those features (chromatic tuner).I thought this would be an upgrade and a nice addition, but not soI am returning it (dropped off at UPS today) and hopefully Ill get a refund soon!I LOVE AMAZON, and as Ive said before, if I can purchase from anywhere, first go to would without a doubt be Amazon... they are THE BEST!Not their fault this particular purchase didnt work out!I hope this review helps...summary:power button was sketchy, "upgraded" features not much to brag about, MA-30 works just as good (better in my opinion)hope this review helps you decide!good luck and happy practicing

Produits de très bonne qualité et très utile

Recomendado me funciono al 100 y me sirve aun sin problema

Just started trying to learn guitar and a metronome is advised by several online instructors so I went with this one by KORG.Very easy to set-up and you don't have to be an advanced player to use it.Very satisfied with the quality, size and weight.Should never need another one as I advance in learning guitar.

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. E' molto pratico, abbastanza piccolo da stare nella custodia della chitarra. E' essenziale ma ha tutto quello che serve; display LCD ampio; ha la possibilità di impostare il tempo inserendo direttamente il valore oppure attraverso la funzione TAP; accento sul primo quarto; da zero a nove battute; ritmi (quarti, ottavi, sedicesimi, terzine e più). Il volume è regolabile, è forte ma non abbastanza per una sessione live con la band; è comunque dotato di uscita per le cuffie, quindi se serve si può amplificare. Il suono è tipo giochino elettronico anni ottanta, non il classico toc. Può anche generare le note della scala per calibrare uno strumento, è possibile variare anche la frequenza base che per default è 440 Hz. Si alimenta con due pile AAA incluse nella confezione e facilmente reperibili. Considerato il prezzo moderato è un oggetto da tenere in considerazione. Lo utilizzo da più di un mese, in media un'ora al giorno, e le batterie sono ancora buone.

２個目購入ですピアノ用に使ってます、使いやすいです、音量調節もダイヤルでできてリズムも三連符や、スイングまで対応していますが初心者の自分にとって、スイングのリズムがとりにくかったので大変助かってます別売りのコードで電子ピアノに繋げばスピーカーや、ヘッドホンから音を出すこともできます２個買った理由は電子ピアノに二個つなげて、曲の途中でリズムや、拍が変わった時にワザワザ設定を替えなくても良いように使い分ける為ですこれで練習が捗ります
