Korg BTL-MINI Beatlab

Korg Beatlab Mini er en metronom og rytme trener utviklet for trommeslager og perkusjonist.

The BEATLAB mini provides a generous selection of the rhythm patterns that are
indispensable for practicing a percussion instrument. The tempo can be adjusted
over a wide range of 30-300 beats per minute, and you can specify the time
signature and rhythm individually to meet your rhythm training needs for a variety
of songs and styles. In addition to conventional electronic metronome sounds,
there´s also a rich range of PCM sounds. Mechanical metronome sounds that
won´t fatigue your ear even at high-volume listening, male and female voices that
make it easy to tell your beat within the rhythm, and realistic drum pattern sounds
with snare, cymbal and claves are some of the 30 available choices, meeting the
needs of drummers and percussionists in any musical style.

The BEATLAB mini provides a training mode that lets you objectively check your
own sense of rhythm. If you connect the included contact mic to the unit´s TRIGGER
jack and attach it to your snare or practice pad, the BEATLAB mini detects the sound
of your strikes and measures the slight discrepancy in tempo between your playing
and the sound of the metronome. The amount of the discrepancy is indicated audibly.
For example, if a male or female voice is selected, you´ll be informed whether you´re
"TOO FAST" or "TOO SLOW"; if you´re correct, the voice tells you plainly "GOOD,"
"GREAT," "WONDERFUL," or "PERFECT." This lets you check your own rhythm in real
time with ease.. After evaluation, your score at keeping the rhythm and your overall
tendencies are shown in the display, allowing you to monitor your progress as you continue
to practice. How strictly your rhythm is evaluated and the trigger sensitivity can be adjusted
in detail to correspond with your ability and the devices with which you´re practicing.
From the beginner who has just started their instrument up to the veteran who just wants
to verify their rhythmic sense, the BEATLAB mini will support your rhythm training as your
very own dedicated and personalized trainer.

The sound out function can generate a one-octave reference tone. Since you can specify
the calibration setting, this also provides a convenient way to tune your drums before
practicing.

A timer function and stopwatch function are provided for convenience in time-keeping
during rehearsal, when you´re performing on stage, or for any other purpose.

A volume adjustment dial is provided for the built-in speaker and headphone output,
and there´s plenty of volume to meet the needs of the percussionist. You can use the
rhythm trainer with a constantly audible metronome sound that won´t be drowned out
by the sound of your drums or percussion.

The large LCD shows the metronome movement and settings at a glance, and the
high-brightness backlight ensures great visibility. The unique disk-shaped body is easy
to grip with one hand, and the numerous physical buttons mean that you have quick
access to all the functions.

A clip with excellent holding power is provided on the rear surface of the lightweight and
compact BEATLAB, so you can attach it directly to your belt in a position that won´t get in
your way while performing. Pulling out the clip transforms it to a stand, letting you place
the unit in a stable position on a table. Also provided is a convenient strap hole that´s
convenient when using the unit as a stopwatch.

The CM-200 high-sensitivity contact mic is included for trigger detection. You can attach
this mic to your practice pad or snare, or even to a magazine or table; any object that the
clip will grip to transmit to transmit its vibration. The moment you get your BEATLAB mini,
you can immediately start accurate rhythm training wherever you are.

The "BEATLAB mini + Pad" limited set is available, packaging the BEATLAB mini with a
6-inch practice pad. It´s the ideal set for any amateur who is just starting serious rhythm
training.
