FEEL THE BEAT: YAMAHA CLICKSTATION IS MORE THAN
A METRONOME
—Vibrating Pad, Individual Subdivision
Controls, Song Storage—
NASHVILLE, TN—Yamaha Corporation of America, Drum Products,
will introduce a new concept in traditional timekeeping with
the Summer NAMM 2003 debut of the ClickStation programmable
metronome.
Currently available, the Yamaha ClickStation features a small,
round vibrating pad that pulsates with the beat, providing the
user with time reference through the sense of feel, and eliminating
the need for audible or visual cues. Individual fader-type volume
controls for half-, quarter-, eighth- and sixteenth-note, plus
eighth-note triplets and accompaniment allow the user to fine
tune the volume for beat subdivisions.
Up to 86 tempo settings can be saved as songs and preset into
a chain in the internal memory for quick recall and consecutive
playback, making the ClickStation an ideal accessory for a set
list or other live performance application.
The ClickStation also includes a MIDI IN jack for easy sync
with a sequencer or other MIDI device, and a trigger input jack
for remote start/stop of playback or tap tempo functions from
an electronic drum pad. Other features include an easy-to-read
backlit LCD display, plus a 10-key pad for tempo input and quick
access to functions.
"The features and functions of the ClickStation take
the metronome from traditional practice tool to valuable performance
accessory for users ranging from music teachers to professional
drummers," states David Jewell, marketing manager, Yamaha
Drums.
