Description
MRT-7 is a cross between a metronome and a drum machine. It can keep time with a simple quarter note but also be highly customisable for a click unique to your situation. It can also play rhythms for backing with a Bossa Nova, Rock, Samba grooves and more. It has built-in sounds from classic drum machines as well as recorded percussion. Or use the synthesised click sounds for a digital-sounding click.
With MRT-7 A+B sequencing lets you layer two clicks and alternate between them — from 1 bar each up to custom sequences. Switch between steady time and subdivisions, or quarter notes and triplets. Progression built in: start 1+1, work up to 3+1, 2+2, 1+3.
MRT-7 is also a great educational tool as it is so visual — a fantastic learning aid for developing musicians.
