@expat48 I used to have one of those Korg’s it’s great. A metronome is a simple tool so it’s mostly about what’s cheapest, though I must say I use the TAP feature ALL THE TIME and find it indispensable (which the Korg DOES HAVE.)
These days I use apps on my iPhone for it and I have 2 that I use. My go-to that I use most often is Time Trainer:
I think I paid a few bucks for that one?
And then Pro Metronome which I think I’m using the free version:
The one down-side to Time Trainer is it only goes to 260 BPM and some fast Bluegrass tunes are as fast as 320. You can always half it (use 160 to play at 320) but sometimes I wanna hear the true quarter note pulse and that’s when I usually use Pro Metronome instead.
Other than that I find Time Trainer a little easier to use personally.
One feature I love about both of these metronomes is the Timer. I have mine set to 5m so it turns of every 5m. I find that helpful because it’s magic to practice something for 5m/day. And it reminds me to take breaks which is also good for accelerating growth.
I don’t think the Korg has a timer built in like that? Of course you can set a timer, but I find I won’t, whereas it’s set by default in my app so I can trick myself into taking breaks / changing what I’m practicing.
The DOWN side to the a phone app is if you only have your phone and you wanna record yourself playing to a metronome you can’t do both with the same device. So here’s where I sometimes wish I had something like the KORG. But I’ll use my metronome on my phone and record myself on the computer or vice-versa.
