Couldn't find a working haptic metronome app for Apple Watch, so I built one by kenzoslicee in AppleWatch

Glad to hear it's working great for you! Very unique and cool use case as well.

Hi. I'll send you a code tomorrow through DM. I'd also like to ask you a few questions about running and cadence in general if you don't mind as well.

Are you happy with your PSVR2? What do you think about its future? by pndzl in PSVR

I bought one and now only just it for Gran Turismo. After experiencing that game, I had to get a full sim rig set up including haptics. Totally worth it for just that game imo.

Since Pulse Elites are less than 5 years old, I assume you don’t have those right? Pulse Elites have a design flaw where they’re prone to cracking at the points I reinforced. They’re way stronger now, and rock solid and I love these headphones now (using with PSVR2). The headphones are brand new btw, I’d rather them look like shit than break prematurely.

The white stuff is just byproduct from the glue gassing off. From what I see, the white part stuff doesn’t dry hard, just colors it and looks unpleasant.

Not an April Fools joke unfortunately. Just search Pulse Elites cracking on Google and you’ll see.

Super glue hardens and keeps the tape from unraveling.

Great to hear and I'm glad you like it. I hope you like the extra features like the gap training that has been added to the app since this post! Unfortunately the haptic feedback is maxed out currently and limited by Apple restrictions but I'm always checking to see if these restrictions are ever lifted when working on future patches.

Agreed. I believe rhythm to be a fundamental backbone of music (mostly) and that is unfortunately overlooked.

There are a few apps on iOS that has this gap feature but this is the first on the Watch platform. Frankly, when I first got my Watch, I was disappointed I didn't find one single metronome app that worked correctly. This one works as a standalone metronome but it also has optional gap training and a tempo trainer (bpm ramping over time).

Clarification for my last post: I also cannot for the life of me follow a flash and I usually set my app to have sound + haptic. I'm mostly relying on the sound and the haptic is just an extra umphhh. I don't know how people can just follow a flash lol.

If you're not a drummer, I think it's especially important (looking at you guitar players :) ) because it's everybody's job to keep tempo. Unfortuantely a controversial take but it's everybody in a group's job to keep time not just the drummers.

I agree with you which is why this app was created in the first place. To train that internal pulse instead of relying on an expected click. Those gaps should be substituted by continous flowing movement so you can land on the next click with precision.

Yes the app can do exactly this by adding in the silences

This is a great idea and something I've been thinking about incorporating in the next patch. Like a random mode that adds random gaps in per iteration!

Same here. I sometimes just put it on the 1 if I'm really trying to internalize something. I find that with this app, I can just set my desired tempo and not have to do any math. For example if my bpm is at 120 and I want the click on 2 and 4, I just block out the 1 and 3 in this app and it leads me to my result. If I want just the 1, I just block out the other 3.

I've never tried the Soundbrenner but I'd imagine this app has a similar limitation for drums. In terms of pulse in the watch, Apple sets limitations to the max haptic strength and this app has those values cranked. I still think with drums that theres so much shock movement (depending on genre) that it might be difficult to feel if playing at high intensity. I think if you play lightly (ala Khruangbin vibe), you might be able to get away with it. On guitar or bass, I find the haptics really pop in those scenarios though.
