Gap Click by Benny Greb

Benny Greb, well known for his contributions to the drumming education community, shared the approach he has taken to develop his sense of groove and improve his timing on his instrument in his course "The Art and Science of Groove." Now with the Gap Click app, everyone can practice his method easily using this intuitive app!

Unlike standard metronomes, which only provide time, Gap Click helps you improve your sense of time. Gap Click is more than a metronome that focuses on improving your ability to keep tempo, become more aware and comfortable with off-beat clicks, and become bulletproof and accurate with all notes of the subdivision.

GAP CLICK
By scrolling through the numbers of bars and patterns, you can quickly configure a "gap" of time in which the metronome drops out. When the "one" comes back around, will your playing still be in time? How long of a gap can you play through and still maintain a solid tempo?

MOVING CLICK
Next, you can experiment with all kinds of off-beat patterns in the Gap Bar, which moves the click from the downbeat position to a different location. Can you still play your instrument and maintain the downbeat internally even when you hear the click sound on an off-beat?

Both the "click" and the "gap" portion supports various syncopated patterns, allowing you to practice in binary or ternary rhythms - with more or less safety depending on your settings.

Features

• Ability to choose from various syncopated patterns and the number of measures for both the standard "click" and the "gap."
• Use the nostalgic click wheel to find the right tempo or tap to set your desired tempo from 10 to 300bpm
• Standard quarter-note time signatures: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 7/4
• Support for VoiceOver ensures Gap Click is fully accessible to users with visual impairments

Personalize

• See visual feedback for each note or rest that the metronome plays
• Accent beat 1 of each measure or turn accents off for a more significant challenge
• Flash the screen for a visual indication when switching between the "click" and the "gap" sections
• Find your favorite sound from a variety of click samples hand-picked by Benny

This release marks an exceptional round #2 of "low-tone bug" resolutions. I fixed the following two additional cases of the "low-tone" bug making an unwelcome appearance:

#1. Travis informed me of the case on iPads where the low tone appeared in "Slide Over" mode when using Gap Click together with another app that produces audio.

#2. The low-tone bug also appeared on iPhones when switching from an app that produces audio back to Gap Click.

In both cases, the click now starts as expected with your anticipated selected click sound.

It turns out the "low-tone bug" is not just a single bug but a symptom of an underlying issue when audio is unexpectedly interrupted by something else. If you encounter any other instances of this bug, please let me know so I can address them. Together, we'll squash them all! It's like a bad Halloween nightmare for me, lol.

A big thanks again to our considerate users who helped us improve the app, this time Travis, who sent a video demonstrating how to reproduce the issue!

We're always eager to hear your thoughts on this release. Please continue sending your feedback to us from within the app under Settings > Contact Support. I respond to every message personally and promptly to provide you with the best customer service possible.

Thank you for your continued support!
