Patent number: 11921469Abstract: A metronome includes a body, a sensor coupled to the body and a controller in communication with the sensor. The sensor is configured to detect one or more strikes by a user of the metronome. The controller is configured to receive a first user input to select a tap tempo mode, detect via the sensor a strike by the user on the body of the metronome, determine a tempo based on a plurality of strikes by the user. The controller is further configured to detect modulation of how the strikes are made to the body of the metronome and automatically adjust the tempo based on the detected modulation of the strike.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Clikbrik, LLCInventors: Konrad Meissner, Edwin Booth, Michael Glaser, Carla Diana
