Full time signatures are here

Your music doesn’t always fit into simple patterns, and now neither does your metronome. With full time signature support, Subdivide gives you unprecedented control over your click tracks. Define both the top and bottom numbers of your time signature — whether you’re working in 7/8, 6/16, or any other meter your composition demands.

This update transforms how you interact with rhythm in both the standalone metronome and within tracks. Everything from accents to subdivisions automatically adjusts to match your chosen time signature, creating a more musical and intuitive practice experience.

Precise BPM control

Getting your tempo exactly right can make all the difference in practice and performance. That’s why we’ve added precise BPM adjustment with new arrow buttons flanking the tempo dial. Need to slow down just a touch? Or speed up ever so slightly? Now you can nudge your tempo up or down one BPM at a time for perfect precision.
