About the Clave
The current pattern is shown on-screen in traditional notation, with each beat highlighted as it is played.
Patterns can be switched between 3:2 (forward) and 2:3 (reverse) clave.
Tempo is variable from 40 to 200 beats per minute (in cut time), and the timing is rock-solid: accurate to the nearest sample (22 microseconds).
Drag the tempo button up or down to choose a tempo in BPM.
Tap the tempo button in time with the beat to set a tempo rhythmically.
Playback continues in the background, so you can lock your screen and keep on playing.
You can alter the sound, there are high and low pitches and a volume boost option.
It's a useful practice aid, whether you are beginning to play Latin American music, or an experienced sonero. It can also be used to help inject new vibrance into other styles of music - for example, try playing a jig with the Afro (6/8) clave playing!

App good… but
Overall I really love the app and I have noticed my time improving so much as a horn player. That being said, I think there is some “quality of life” type of easy improvements that could be made. Most notably the way that you select tempos with only the slider is kind of annoying. If there was a way to just type the tempo that would make the app so much better for little effort. I use this app along with pro metronome and that app is much better quality of life, if only I could smoosh them into one app!

A fun app which disappears after a few months. Just reload and you’ll be fine.
