Metronome KORG MA-2 BLBK

KORG MA-2 BLBK

Now even easier to see and hear. The MA-2 is the new must-have metronome for orchestral instruments. The MA-1, a compact card-type electronic metronome, has been further improved. The MA-2 is an indispensable unit for rhythm training, and solidly covers the functions of a metronome. In addition to basic functionality such a wide tempo range and a generous number of beats and rhythm patterns, it also provides user-friendly features including an improved display, a loud, crisp sound, and additional functions such as a newly provided “timer mode.” Choose from two different vivid and stylish color schemes for the body: blue and black, or a black and red.

• Larger and more easily readable display
• Enhanced volume and crisp sound for easier detection
• Covers all the needs of rhythm training
• Equipped with “timer mode” and “sound out mode” for daily practicing
• All-new body design & improved functionality
• Up to 400 hours of continuous use 

Larger and more easily readable display

The MA-2’s display is 30% larger than that of the previous model, drastically improving the visibility. Within the display, a digital needle moves between left and right, providing a visual indication of the beat in additional to the audible indication. A triangular icon shows the beat position and the timing at which the measure changes.

Enhanced volume and crisp sound for easier detection

The MA-2 is equipped with a newly designed electronic buzzer. It’s more powerful, providing easily audible sound that won’t be buried by high-volume instruments or high frequencies.

Covers all the needs of rhythm training

You can choose from three different methods of setting the tempo: pendulum step lets you specify a numeric value just as on a mechanical metronome, full step lets you specify the tempo in one-step increments, and tap tempo lets you specify the tempo by pressing a button in time with the song you’re playing. You can also combine a time signature of between 0–9 beats with eight types of rhythm, supporting many types of musical practicing.

Equipped with “timer mode” and “sound out mode” for daily practicing

The MA-2 provides basic metronome function, but also includes a “timer mode” and a “sound out mode” that are useful for daily practicing. Use the MODE button to switch between these at a touch.
