BEATLAB mini W/Pad & CM200

Metronome function with a generous selection of patterns

The BEATLAB mini provides a generous selection of the rhythm patterns that are indispensable for practicing a percussion instrument. The tempo can be adjusted over a wide range of 30-300 beats per minute, and you can specify the time signature and rhythm individually to meet your rhythm training needs for a variety of songs and styles. In addition to conventional electronic metronome sounds, there's also a rich range of PCM sounds. Mechanical metronome sounds that won't fatigue your ear even at high-volume listening, male and female voices that make it easy to tell your beat within the rhythm, and realistic drum pattern sounds with snare, cymbal and claves are some of the 30 available choices, meeting the needs of drummers and percussionists in any musical style.

Training function that checks and improves your sense of rhythm

The BEATLAB mini provides a training mode that lets you objectively check your own sense of rhythm. If you connect the included contact mic to the unit's TRIGGER jack and attach it to your snare or practice pad, the BEATLAB mini detects the sound of your strikes and measures the slight discrepancy in tempo between your playing and the sound of the metronome. The amount of the discrepancy is indicated audibly. For example, if a male or female voice is selected, you'll be informed whether you're "TOO FAST" or "TOO SLOW"; if you're correct, the voice tells you plainly "GOOD," "GREAT," "WONDERFUL," or "PERFECT." This lets you check your own rhythm in real time with ease.. After evaluation, your score at keeping the rhythm and your overall tendencies are shown in the display, allowing you to monitor your progress as you continue to practice.

Sound Out function is convenient for tuning your drums

The sound out function can generate a one-octave reference tone. Since you can specify the calibration setting, this also provides a convenient way to tune your drums before practicing.

Timer/Stopwatch function can be used in a variety of ways:
A timer function and stopwatch function are provided for convenience in time-keeping during rehearsal, when you're performing on stage, or for any other purpose.

High-volume built-in speaker and headphone output:
A volume adjustment dial is provided for the built-in speaker and headphone output, and there's plenty of volume to meet the needs of the percussionist. You can use the rhythm trainer with a constantly audible metronome sound that won't be drowned out by the sound of your drums or percussion.

Large backlight LCD display

The large LCD shows the metronome movement and settings at a glance, and the high-brightness backlight ensures great visibility. The unique disk-shaped body is easy to grip with one hand, and the numerous physical buttons mean that you have quick access to all the functions.

Two-way clip that holds the unit in a variety of positions:
A clip with excellent holding power is provided on the rear surface of the lightweight and compact BEATLAB, so you can attach it directly to your belt in a position that won't get in your way while performing. Pulling out the clip transforms it to a stand, letting you place the unit in a stable position on a table. Also provided is a convenient strap hole that's convenient when using the unit as a stopwatch.

Includes a contact microphone for trigger detection:
The CM-200 high-sensitivity contact mic is included for trigger detection. You can attach this mic to your practice pad or snare, or even to a magazine or table; any object that the clip will grip to transmit to transmit its vibration. The moment you get your BEATLAB mini, you can immediately start accurate rhythm training wherever you are.
