This issue proposes the addition of a metronome feature to the piano learning app. A metronome is essential for practicing timing and rhythm, and this feature will allow users to select a Beats Per Minute (BPM) setting and hear a steady metronome sound at that tempo. The accuracy and consistency of the metronome's timing are crucial to avoid confusion and frustration during practice.
Objectives
Adjustable BPM: Users should be able to select their desired BPM for the metronome.
Steady and Accurate Timing: The metronome must maintain a consistent tempo without drifting.
Clear Auditory Cue: The metronome sound (click or similar) should be clear and distinct.
Easy Access and Control: Users should find it easy to access and control the metronome settings during their practice.
Implementation Details
Metronome UI: Develop a user interface element that allows users to select and adjust the BPM.
Sound Generation: Implement a sound system that plays a metronome click at the selected BPM. Consider using Godot's AudioStreamPlayer.
Precision Timing: Ensure that the timing mechanism driving the metronome is precise. This may involve using Godot's OS.get_ticks_msec() or similar high-precision time functions.
Volume Control: Include an option to adjust the metronome's volume.
Requirements
Development of a UI component for the metronome controls.
Creation or sourcing of a suitable metronome click sound.
Implementation of a timing system for accurate BPM playback.
Testing the feature across a range of tempos for accuracy and consistency.
Impact
The metronome feature is a fundamental tool for any musician, and its inclusion will significantly enhance the app's utility for practicing timing and rhythm.
Precise and reliable metronome functionality is crucial for a positive user experience, especially for users who are keen on developing their rhythmic skills.
Next Steps
Design and implement the metronome UI.
Develop the audio playback system for the metronome sound.
Create the timing mechanism to ensure consistent BPM.
Conduct thorough testing at various tempos and on different devices to ensure reliability.
