Hi all,
I work as an Occupational Therapist with some kids that have very poor timing and rhythym. Has anyone come across an inexpensive computer game that would allow different bpm settings, and provide visual feedback and scoring regarding accuracy of 'clicking' exactly on the beat ?
I know something like this can be done with pricey software - probably even BB/RB, but I'm looking for something cheaper, simpler, and easier to use, that I can load on multiple computers at the school I work in.
Thanks in advance, Joe V.

Hi Joe V.,
I think you should ask the same question at a place like Unity3d.com (visit the community-part of the site). It is a place where you can meet many game developers (and musicians, etc) - and many of them are constantly looking for cool new ideas for games. If you are lucky there could already be someone there who have made something like this.
Will

Thanks so much Will...will do. (that might be the first time I've ever created a sentence with 2 'will's in it : )

Joe, why not take a simple drum track from one of BiaB's styles, save either wavs or MP3s of it at various tempos and have the children clap to the beat? Or buy some inexpensive tambourines for them to use: https://www.dhgate.com/wholesale/tambourines+kids.html
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.
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Thanks for the suggestion Mario - but I'd like them to have an associated score so they (and I) can track their improvement.

If you have access to any iOS devices check out “Rockstars of Ooo”. Specific game scoring based on timing and rhythm accuracy

Joe,
There are many sites that are devoted to teaching music to kids. As a music educator, you are qualified to join. Check out these Facebook groups:
"I Teach Music Technology" and "Elementary Music Teachers." The two groups have a combined membership of over 30,000 and many are teaching/using BIAB.
I can provide direct links and introductions to the moderators, if interested.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
