hen I am playing Hammond I am away from my PC. I want to be able to provide a metronome and preferably some beats, such as Latin. I could hope to be able to slowly speed things up sometime too.

Looking for a digital machine, maybe a sequencer, small easy to use. I don't like the type that beep or ting intrusively, would like something more real kit like.
Don't really know how to look

Any help friends?

Google/bing rhythm machines with speakers and you will find a few. Here is one:

If you have an amp and speakers then just google/bing rhythm machines.

I hope this helps and good luck.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Hello Mario,
Have you used this one? I don't think it has bass. A lot of these machines are developed for the dub step type market - I might have the term wrong, but you know what I mean.
I am looking for standard type rythmns as used by live standard musicians, blues, jazz etc.

I was hoping for something with a small amp, capable of a reasonable sound, without set up

No, I have no experience with any of these.

Another suggestion is to purchase an old XP notebook like one of these:

Then buy a small guitar amp like this:

Put BiaB onto the notebook, run a mini plug to 1/4" plug from the notebook's speaker out to the amp input, mute all but the drums and bass and play away.

Good luck

this is the kind of thing I am trying to avoid.

I could use an app, but really I wanted a dedicated [piece of hardware. I don't really want to rig things up, I already have a studio (with BIAB) if I want to go this way.

I was hoping to get something like the old Yamaha QR10, but updated

Ray,

Thanks for sharing the app link. That's a pretty impressive app in the demos. I didn't know any Android app would cost $14.

I've even used the iReal Pro on short gigs where I didn't want to carry extra gear. The app works well. I've also entered my sub chords for all the tunes I have on iReal.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
