“Awesome. Tempo changes can really ground the conscious mind in a greater depth of concentration.”
—Anthony Metivier
“The Accelerating Metronome is an excellent tool for helping guitarists get their timing right and honing their accuracy. Since I've started using it, I can feel myself playing cleaner, and more accurately. With the ability to gradually accelerate over a given time, it eliminates the need to constantly change tempo on your metronome, saving you valuable time in the practice room.”
—Levi Dube
“Very useful tool.”
—David Charbonneau
“I like The Accelerating Metronome a lot, it worked really well.”

The Accelerating Metronome
Software for the practicing musician
The Accelerating Metronome alleviates the tedium of having to manually adjust the tempo setting while practicing to a metronome. The user specifies the Start Tempo and the End Tempo, and the Duration of the acceleration period. The Accelerating Metronome smoothly and automatically changes tempo according to the user’s input. The on-screen controls are very simple to use; most functions can also be triggered by the keys on your computer keyboard (hotkeys). The metronome can also provide a constant tempo, like a traditional metronome.
Features:
- tempo range from 40bpm to 400bpm
- acceleration duration range from 1 minute to 60 minutes
- 4 selectable beep tones
- “reverse” button to switch acceleration direction
- “hotkey” control (from computer keyboard) for most functions
- on-screen help for hotkeys
- “pause” button to take a break partway through practice session
- “pause tempo” button to temporarily freeze acceleration
- save and load settings in user-specified files
- most recently used settings are automatically saved and reloaded on next program startup
- 4 switchable background colours (black, red, yellow, white)
- constant tempo mode
- volume control
