Product Description

Create a Network of Pulsating Metronomes! The BodyBeat Sync represents the ultimate in musical tempo reference devices. As a fully featured metronome, it is capable of transmitting the beat by visual, aural and tactile means. Wireless functionality allows two or more BodyBeat Syncs to work in synchronicity with one another, allowing the networking of multiple units on stage, in the recording studio, band room or anywhere the precise synchronization of a performance and its performers is required. Flexible Usage Options The BodyBeat Sync can store up to 100 user presets consisting of tempo, meter, subdivision and accent pattern. All preset information is transmitted to each synchronized unit as well as the current bar count of the active preset. If the 100 user presets do not provide enough versatility, the "tempo map" from an entire musical score can be stored in the BodyBeat Sync via the mini USB cable. A standard MIDI file can be used or a custom "tempo map" can be designed via the free application on the BodyBeat Sync website. Additionally, the BodyBeat Sync can be driven by a DAW using MIDI Clock via the mini USB cable.

5.0 out of 5 stars All-around great product!

Feels very sturdy. Even the belt-clip, which is plastic, appears and feels designed to not easily break.

Had a pair of these for 6 months. Have used during in a few band practices. Was great to sync the two during pracitce: one person feels the tactile tempo while the other unit feeds the PA with the click for all. We'd turn the click in the PA down after the song starts and only the drummer would have the tactile tempo.

Feeling the beat via the Tactile delivery mode (1st reason for buying this), takes some getting used to. During personal practices (wood-shedding), I have given up on it many times and gone to sound. I think this is due to over 30 years of working with an audible metronome. It takes time to retrain from audible to tactile, and I'm not giving up yet - I have high hopes that it is a better way. When using audible click, the click can become masked by one's playing. While using the Tactile mode, this doesn't appear to be a problem.

Setting all the base metronome settings is quite straight forward and doesn't require reading the manual, if you study the available buttons and dial and play around a little.

I did have to read the manual to figure out how to sync two of them (2nd main reason for buying this thing).

The recharable battery holds up very well when not in use. I can not use one of them for weeks. When I turn it on, the power is stull at full-charge. The rechargeable battery is a BL-4B 3.7V battery. It is easily removable, so one could keep a backup charged and ready to replace.

The screw-in belt clip works well. It locks in different rotation positions so that when you clip it to your belt, the display is for your eyes. The only downside, is that you can't angle the unit so that it is facing upwards. You must either crane your neck out to read the display to free a hand to angle the metronome towards your face (usually a little of both).

The screw-in belt clip also acts as a great table-top stand putting the metronome at 1 of 2-angles: at about 60 or 80 degrees.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty great

This thing is pretty awesome. You can plug headphones in to it, it had its own mic, and you can plug a vibrator (comes in package) in to it that clips on your belt. MAN that thing is strong, I felt it through a shirt, jeans, shorts, and underwear. WOAH. The best part is even though it is incredibly strong, you can't really hear it if there are other musicians playing or a group of people talking. Of course, I plugged it in in my bedroom when I first got it and thought "oh crap, I can't wear this to my recital, they'll hear it" but they most definitely did not! I just put it in my pocket and ran the cord cleverly under my tucked in shirt and put the vibrator in my other pocket. You can adjust the tempo, meter, division, everything! and the vibrator still keeps up (my boyfriend took it, set the tempo to 208 or whatever the max is, meter to 12/16, and the division to 16th notes and the vibrator kept up perfectly, it wasn't just buzzing either! it was a distinct vibration for each ridiculously fast beat. The only reason I knocked a star off of the rating was for a hundred bucks, it felt like I had just picked it up at a dollar store. It was a light, cheap feeling, but that didn't take away from how well it worked!
If you do decide to get it, it comes automatically set to join a group and the manual doesn't tell you how to fix this correctly. It tells you to press sync, when you need to be pressing mode.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works, learning curve, adequate battery life
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2014

The BBS-1 is a little computer with a vibrator attached. Many menu items (such as turning it off) require more than one button push. There's a learning curve, which explains the frustration of some reviewers, so read the manual.

The sync feature is cool and works like a charm. It's another piece of technology to keep track of on stage, however. We synced three during rehearsal, no problem. It remains to be seen whether being locked into an unvarying beat will be useful or maddening in an actual gig.

The vibrator intensity is user selectable from 'I can barely feel this' to 'i can't ignore this.'

The vibrator takes a lot of power, so don't expect a long battery life before recharging. I use mine plugged into a usb power supply, so I can leave the intensity as high as I want for as long as I want. I bought 6' charging cables, but I guarantee someone is going to walk away while still plugged in.

Edit: After several months of use, the battery life is actually much better than I thought initially. I can use the unit for several hours on a charge.
