40 BPM Metronome

40 BPM (Beats per Minute) Metronome I designed this metronome series to emulate the behavior of mechanical metronomes as accurately as possible. Mechanical metronomes got some advantages over digital ones. The pendulum movement gives the musicians visual clues about the tempo which can be very useful, especially for slow tempos. Unfortunately, the timing of mechanical metronomes is often not very good at slow tempos resulting in uneven beats. Moreover, the loudness of mechanical metronomes is insufficient for drums practice and you can’t plug headphones on them. My goal with this series was to create a metronome with an idealized behavior. keeping all the advantages of mechanical metronomes but at the same time getting rid of the downsides and inaccuracies. I kept the traditional range of tempos from real mechanical metronomes, which is from 40 to 208 BPM (Beats per minute). Using After Effects expressions, I programmed the behavior of the pendulum very carefully, taking into a
