Auto Switch
– This view automatically switches between Realtime
view and History view, depending on whether you are striking the
drum pad. In Auto Switch view, Beatnik automatically displays
History view after it detects no drum pad activity for one complete
beat. Beatnik automatically switches to Realtime view when you
resume striking the drum pad. This provides added convenience by
showing practice results as soon as possible without having to
manually change views.
Skill Levels and Scoring
Skill Levels
Beatnik lets you adjust the skill level to allow a wider margin of
tolerance for timing accuracy. You can select from the following
levels:
¾
Low
¾
Medium
¾
High
¾
Expert
Beatnik calculates the margin of tolerance in 512
th
notes. For example,
the Expert level allows a margin of a single 512
th
note to determine a
“perfect” stroke. That is, to obtain a perfect score of 100% at the
Expert level, your stroke must be within one 512
th
note of the actual
beat.
The margins of tolerance for the different skill levels are as follows:
Low – within seven 512
th
notes
Medium – within five 512
th
notes
High – within three 512
th
notes
Expert – within one 512
th
note
The skill level can significantly affect the score. The Low skill level is
the most forgiving and typically results in the highest scores.
