Drummer has a metronome app he uses to call up the tempo of next song. Even though he has them in order - it’s taking too long and we lose the dance floor. I can put the tempos in gig performer and I think I know how to send it out on midi but how do I receive that as a visual metronome for the drummer?
He has a roland td27 but so far as I can tell it only has click and no visual metronome. We do a test on Monday to see if I can use my songs in gigperformer to choose the appropriate “drum kit” for him which will help minimize time between songs too.
He is using an app on the iphone that flashes the entire screen with the tempo.
He is solid in time with a few beats to guide his count. I have nicknamed him “Rolex” because his time is gold.
I was wondering if I could send the midi clock over wifi to his phone if there is an app to receive it. But I just had an idea of a possible simpler lower tech solution. Maybe I can use the audio click on a separate channel and find/modify/build something that would flash to the click like an LED driven by an amp, a visual sound level indicator.
Using Touch OSC on the iPad would be the best solution.
With sending OSC message from Gig Performer via WiFi you can create a flashing graphics on his iPhone.
All you need is a WLAN-Router with WiFi, Touch OSC on the iPhone and some simple scripting in Gig Performer.
