The aim of this study was to determine the effects of both rhythmic music and metronome cues on gait spatiotemporal measures (including variability) in healthy older people. The possible effect of normal ageing on response to different cue types has not been reported for gait. Different cue types have produced inconsistent effects across groups which differed in both age and clinical condition. There has been limited investigation into whether there are optimal cue types. Stop printing out metronome ticks on the console.Rhythmic auditory cues including music and metronome beats have been used, sometimes interchangeably, to improve disordered gait arising from a range of clinical conditions. Print out the metronome ticks on the console. Stop producing sounds for metronome ticks. Parameters are optional – use provided pitch to produce sound (default is 35) volume for first (strong) beat – subsequent beats sound at 70% of that (default is 127) and channel (default 9).
Produce a sound for every metronome tick. Set metronome’s time signature (a list, e.g., meaning 4/4). Set metronome’s tempo (an integer meaning beats per minute, e.g., 60). Call it again to remove more.Ĭlear all functions to be called by metronome. If this function has been added several times, remove the first addition. Remove provided function (a function name) from the internal list of functions called by the metronome. This allows for complex rhythms to be created and kept synchronized. If the function is repeated, skipping of measures is also repeated (e.g., start on the 1 beat of every 2nd measure). NOTE: If beatToStart is larger than time signature (e.g., beat 5 in 4/4) this means skip measures (e.g., start on the 1 beat of the 2nd measure). M.add(function, parameters, beatToStart, repeatFlag)Īdd this function (a function name) to be called with the given parameters (a list), on the specified beat (1 means first beat in measure, 2, means 2nd beat in measure, and so on 0 means the absolute next beat), and whether to call it repeatedly (True or False). Once a Metronome, m, has been created, the following functions are available:
Use the following function to create a Metronome object: FunctionĬreates a metronome with the provided tempo (a positive integer denoting beats-per-minute, default is 60) and timeSignature (a list denoting how many beats are in each measure of music, default is meaning 4/4). Metronome is included in the music library, so, you need the following in your program: Of course, Metronome objects can be used for other things (e.g., GUI animation).Ī metronome has a tempo (e.g., 60 BPM), and a time signature (e.g., 4/4).Ī program may have several metronomes active at the same time. It is very hard otherwise (you need a steady hand, and luck) to start things together at the exact same time. Metronome objects are used to synchronize blocks of musical material (i.e., by making sure they start playing together), e.g., for live coding applications.
