To pause a practice session, press the
Start/Pause
button during
playback.
Note
: If the View is set to Auto Switch and you stop playing while the
metronome continues to sound, Beatnik automatically switches to the
History view . This lets you immediately view practice results without
pausing the session or manually changing views. As soon as you
resume playing, Beatnik automatically switches to Realtime view and
continues to record your playing history. See “View Options” for
more information.
Using the Tap Start Control
You can also use the Tap Start function to start a practice session. See
“Click/Tap” below.
The Accuracy Analyzers
Beatnik features two accuracy analyzers, each of which lets you
analyze your performance skills in a unique way.
Groove Analyzer
Groove Analyzer is intended to help you improve your ability to create
and play in a “groove.” This analyzer tests your ability to play with
consistent tempo, regardless whether it is ahead of or behind the beat
of the metronome.
Groove features a horizontal tempo range with the set tempo displayed
in the center, a moving arrow that shows your measured tempo as the
practice session progresses, and buzzers to warn you of drifting tempo.
If your measured tempo remains within the limits of the skill tolerance
range, Beatnik remains silent. If your measured tempo slows down
below the skill tolerance range, Beatnik sounds a low warning beep. If
your measured tempo speeds up and exceeds the skill tolerance range,
Beatnik sounds a high warning beep. The four skill button tolerances
are +/ 5bpm, +/10bpm, +/20bpm and +/25bpm.
You can avoid the warning beeps by maintaining a consistent tempo.
