KMetronome is a MIDI metronome with KDE interface, based on the ALSA sequencer. The intended audience is musicians and music students. Like solid, real metronomes it is a tool to keep the rhythm while playing musical instruments. It uses MIDI for sound generation instead of digital audio, allowing low CPU usage, and very accurate timing thanks to the ALSA sequencer. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This release fixes a compilation error using GCC 4. It fixes MIDI output for QSynth/Fluidsynth and other soft synths. It uses longer (configurable) durations, or even avoids using note off events entirely. The schedule is always one bar ahead of the current time to avoid the nasty little gaps between patterns.
