How to use the Andronome metronome

There are often several ways to get at the most important functions of the Andronome metronome. Most users will prefer to use the touch screen, like this:

  • Tap the screen once to start the metronome.
  • Long press (touch and hold) the screen to stop.
  • Adjust the tempo by swiping the finger over the screen. Fling or swipe up to increase the BPM, down to decrease it. The tempo change is proportional to the velocity of the swipe.
  • Tap the tempo on the screen, Andronome will adjust to the tapped tempo.

You may also use the menu to start, stop and set tempo. Or the hardware buttons. And why not try the remote control on your headset?





You may also use the menu to button and press play/stop. Tempo is adjusted via a slider control and the short usage welcome screen can be shown.



If you have a headset with media control the play/pause button will work as expected. If the headset has a volume control, this will work too.


Phones with real hardware buttons are supported like this:
Up/down will change the tempo while the middle/fire/OK button plays and pauses.

A Merrier Christmas with a new Fakebook Pro

Just in time for Christmas, there is now a new release of the Fakebook Pro music reader app available on Google Play and Amazon : Double tap screen to go to the next song (a single tap still moves to next or previous page). New control to make photo or PDF black & white and increase contrast. Perfect when using the mobile or tablet camera to scan paper music! Metronome tempo now shown in list and music header. New symbols on chord keyboard. Plus, a few important bug fixes for key/pedal mapping and annotations on some devices. Available now! Merry Christmas!

Check out the new Stomp pedal with Fakebook Pro

As a gigging musician your hands should be focused on playing music. Not turning pages. While your Fakebook Pro app made it easier to carry your charts and lyrics, you still have to take your hands off of your instrument to change pages. Unless you get a wireless pedal, of course. The Stomp pedal is a rugged, durable, and reliable app controller, making it the obvious choice for professionals and hobbyists alike. Stomp is housed in a solid metal enclosure, rugged enough to be run over by a truck, so it will handle any gig, night after night. Just throw it in your bag or attach it to your pedalboard and go off to the next gig. Stomp uses Bluetooth 4.0 and is tested compatible with the Fakebook Pro app. Check it out at https://codamusictech.com/products/bluetooth-page-turner-music-pedal-for-tablets  .

Finally! Started to write a Fakebook Pro Manual...

OK, I know this should have been done a long time ago. But, as most developers, I tend to avoid writing user manuals and other documentation. ("The software is sooo easy to use anyway", "That feature is self-explanatory, isn't it?") Well, now I have at least started. If you want to have a sneak preview on a very early alpha version (there are a lot of empty sections at the end...), please have a look here:  Fakebook Pro Manual 3.3 alpha
