Talk to me, Doctor!

The Boss DB88 Dr. Beat takes the metronome to an entirely new level. The first thing you'll notice is that that you're not just limited to the traditional metronome click sound — you can also select a human voice that will count the beats for you. (Think of it as a little company on those long, lonely nights of practice!)

The DB88 also memorizes tempo, beat, and rhythm level settings and facilitates practicing in odd-time signatures through the combination of 2 distinct beats. There's independent slider-based control of desired note volume (quarter note, eighth note, sixteenth note, eighth-note triplet), so you can be sure the accents will fall where you want them to. The loop function plays back memorized beat settings in the exact order you wantΦperfect for practicing passages with rhythmic changes. The large alpha dial and custom LCD make operation a breeze and there's tempo tap capability so you can easily get the BPM of whatever music you're listening to.

For serious musicians, the Talking Dr. Beat can handle time signatures up to 15 beats per measure. Mountable on drum hardware. Two headphone jacks and one audio input.

The DB88 is a new member of the DR.Beat Series, a reference standard for electronic metronomes.
