Flamenco Metronome Compas Description

Flamenco Metronome Compas is a lightweight cross-platform utility with a pretty self-explanatory name, as it provides a metronome built specifically for helping you learn and practice the musical patterns of Flamenco. The application comes in handy for all users who need to count the correct 12-beat rhythms, while dancing, singing, playing the guitar or clapping hands. The GUI is clean and displays a clock which is used for counting the beats for different styles. The clock proves to be extremely useful for understanding the rhythmical cycles (also known as the “compás”) of the Flamenco style. Unfortunately, the application doesn’t provide documentation to help us understand the function of each dedicated parameter. However, all its features are neatly organized in the primary panel, and you can start counting the twelve beats on 1, 8 or 12 rhythms. The program allows users to select between different sound styles (natural metronome sound, plastic or synthetic sound), as well as pick from two different types of hand claps “fuertes” (hard) and “sordas” (soft). Furthermore, you can choose the number of beats per minutes pretty easily, thanks to its built-in slider, and adjust the volume for accentuated or non-accentuated beats. It also displays musical notes and tabs in a dedicated window, where you perform different operations, such as selecting the Flamenco style (“palos”) and configuring the audio settings in terms of volume, balance, treble, pitch shift and playback speed. The Flamenco-clock is also embedded in this window, so you can view the beats. All things considered, Flamenco Metronome Compas is a software application that allows users to learn and practice the musical Flamenco patterns quickly and with minimum effort.
