## Description

Customize rhythms, sync with bandmates, and control tempo from your DAW. This wearable metronome offers versatile features for seamless musical performance.

Review: Not life changing but certainly rhythm changing! - This device is quite remarkable in helping you to keep time. No more annoying clicks to listen to and the vibrations really get you into the groove. You can adjust the vibrations to suit and I use a stronger vibration on the one beat. You actually feel the beat rather than listen out for it which enables you to concentrate on the music. You soon get used to the change in your senses from listening to feeling and initially you may find the transition a bit odd but you overcome this very quickly. The device works really well with the App which I use to control all the functions. The only negative is attaching the charging cable to the device which has a magnetic lock and the stiff cable tends to dislodge it when trying to attach it. This is a minor irritation that does not detract from the effectiveness of using the device. Time will tell if longevity is an issue.
Review: Things you should know - I read many reviews before buying this. Clearly some people got a faulty unit that didn’t keep perfect time. The unit I received does. I use it with the app for iPhone. When connecting via Bluetooth turn off Bluetooth on your phone, then turn it back on again and THEN activate the Bluetooth connection on the app. It will connect straight away. If you leave Bluetooth on all the time on your phone the app doesn’t always connect. Also, if you’re a guitar player, try wearing the metronome on your fretting arm. I find that much easier to follow. For me, vibration is the least offensive medium for a metronome. This is a fantastic product. I thoroughly recommend it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it show bpm on the app?  i read criticism that bpm are not shown on the device.**
A: Yes, BPM is shown on the app but not on the device

**Q: Do you have to use the app? I just want it it to go a steady beat of for example 180 bpm when I am running without my phone?**
A: Yes, you can totally do this (I myself is also a runner and I do this sometimes to work on my cadence). The Soundbrenner Pulse works standalone from the app. You can tap the Pulse and set the BPM that you desire while adjusting it on the device's control wheel. To set an exact BPM (of 180) you can use the app and then go running (without the phone).

**Q: How To get the app on my smart iPhone**
A: Download from the app store

**Q: Can it support flamenco rhythm? or is it only metronome?**
A: Well, yes and no.  There's no setting per se for Flamenco, but, through the free Android or iPhone app, you can control accents -- not just what beat the accent is on, but also its intensity.  So, if you know exactly which accents correspond to Flamenco, you can probably get a pretty close approximation.  I like to practice scales to Bossa Nova, so, for that, I set the accent to the second beat.  By the way, because this is a pulse device and doesn't work on sound (unless you want it to, in which case you can get the sound played on your phone), you wouldn't want to get too complex with the rhythms.  There is also provision for linking to Ableton and MIDI (which I haven't explored personally) and, if you can set up a particular rhythm in those, I'm pretty sure you could get them to play on the Pulse.  Hope this helps!

### ⭐ First one didn't work. Replacement didn't work
*by M***K on 9 February 2021*

I bought the device and followed all instructions, but the device didn't glow orange when it was charging like it was supposed to. Instead it was lit up in both green and orange. This told me something was wrong. I managed to power it up once but then it died and wouldn't turn on again, so i sent it back. With my replacement, the charging still didn't look right. Now it was pulsing, but in orange and green - again, not what it supposed to do according to the video. However i managed to get it turned on and paired briefly. However when i turned the dial to increase the BPM, the screen showed an increased BPM, but the vibrations stayed at the same speed. Then it refused to connect to my device at all. Then it stopped turning on. The reset button didn't do anything either. So the second one got returned too. Really bad product. I wish i had seen these reviews before i bought it.
