Introduction
The Beatnik™ RA800P Rhythmic Analyzer for Percussion from
OnBoard Research helps you improve your rhythmic accuracy in
ways never before imagined or possible. Whether you’re an
experienced player who wants some finetuning or a promising new
talent interested in developing solid rhythmic fundamentals, Beatnik
answers the call.
Beatnik is more than a fancy metronome. With its two interactive,
practical and intuitive builtin analyzers, Beatnik provides instant
visual and audio feedback on your timing and rhythmic accuracy. This
lets you immediately analyze your technical precision and assess your
strengths and weaknesses to help you speed up your progress toward
rhythmic perfection.
After you set the desired rhythm, simply start the rhythm playback and
strike the touchsensitive practice pad. Beatnik’s large display shows a
visual representation of each stroke in real time and records every
stroke for a history view, which lets you see exactly where your
strokes occurred in relation to the actual beat with accuracy to the
nearest 512th note!
Never before has there been anything like Beatnik. If you have ever
wished you knew how your rhythmic and timing skills stack up,
Beatnik has all the answers.
