RhythmPro lets you create and play your own custom drum patterns with real digitized drum sounds on a Palm handheld. Or it can also be used as a versatile and extremely accurate metronome. You can create rhythm patterns in almost any imaginable time signature, save and organize your patterns into categories, and play them using your choice of four different display modes for optimal visual and audio feedback. Set the tempo for each pattern using the onscreen controls or just tap the screen twice in time and RhythmPro calculates the tempo of your taps and begins playing.

Here are some key features of "RhythmPro":

· -Ability to build rhythm patterns using digitized drum sounds (hi-hat, snare, bass, and cowbell) or using musical tones at any pitch from 50 to 4000 Hz.
· -Customizable relative volume for each type of beat sound.
· -Extremely accurate playback with timing accuracy of 0.00017 BPM (the highest accuracy possible on Palm devices).
· -Ability to create patterns in any time signature up with up to 40 beats per measure.
· -Playback at any rate from 1 to 400 BPM (beats per minute).
· -A self-check features monitors the playback to tell you if your playback tempo surpasses the ability of your Palm's hardware to play the rhythm with accurate timing.
· -Whenever possible the CPU is put to sleep between each beat to limit battery power consumption.
· -Four different visual display modes during playback, including an animated metronome and other modes showing you the entire beat pattern or the current beat.
· -Measure counter with option to automatically stop playing after a set number of measures.
· -Six sample rhythm patterns included.
