Metronome

How to use the metronome, tap tempo, and haptic beat feedback.

Larka's metronome keeps perfect time and stays running while you record — so your recordings always have a locked BPM reference.

Setting the tempo

Go to the Tools tab and tap Metronome.

  • ·Use the + / − buttons to adjust BPM one step at a time.
  • ·Long-press for faster changes.
  • ·Tap Tap Tempo repeatedly in time with your desired beat — Larka calculates the BPM from your taps automatically.

Haptic feedback

On supported iPhones, the metronome can pulse the Taptic Engine on every beat — so you feel the rhythm through the phone even when the sound is off or you're wearing headphones.

Enable it in the metronome settings. The downbeat (beat 1) has a stronger haptic feel than the other beats.

Time signatures

Choose from common time signatures: 4/4, 3/4, 2/4, 6/8. The downbeat is always accented.

Recording with the metronome

Start the metronome first, then go to the Record tab. The metronome keeps running in the background while you record. When you stop, Larka uses the metronome's BPM as the recording's tempo — no guessing needed.
