KORG KDM-3-WH - White metronome

White digital metronome in classic design - Korg KDM-3-WH Metronome in classic design with built-in speaker and digital interior of the most modern kind! The metronome can be adjusted in tempos where the 4 parts are 30 - 252 bpm. You can adjust the tempo manually in 1bpm increments or use the Tap function and tap the tempo on the Tap button to find the right tempo. You can choose from 19 different time signatures and rhythms. You can plug in a pair of headphones and hear a click sound at the right tempo in these or choose to hear the metronome in the built-in speaker with the option of really strong volume so it is really heard when practicing, alone or in a group. The Tap button also flashes at the selected tempo and there are arrows on the display that flash at the tempo. You can choose from eight different metronome sounds, so you should find a sound that suits you best. KDM-3 also has selectable tuning tones from C4-B4 so you can tune your instrument without having to pick up another device. Battery Operation - Auto Power Off - Memory Function The battery life is up to 130 hours depending on the quality of the batteries and which function mode you use. The Auto Power Off function means that even if you forget to turn it off, it goes into Off mode for a moment of inactivity. Thanks to a smart memory function, your selection is not lost when the device is turned off. Timer Mode Built into the metronome is something called Timer Mode where you can set an interval when the metronome goes silent. This is a practice function so that you can see if you can dot the same tempo again even if the metronome has stopped. A stylish, easy-to-use and very clear metronome that you do not have to be ashamed of if it is in front of the living room.

The company was originally called Keio Electronic Laboratories and moved into its first premises in 1962. The name Keio was chosen because it contained the initials of both founders' surnames. It was also the name of the railway line that passed right outside the window of their workshop. In 1963, Katoh and Osanai's first work, the Doncamatic DA-20, an electric rhythm box based on a rotary disk system, was introduced. The DA-20 was succeeded by the DA-11, an all-electronic DoncaMatic model. A few years later, Katoh was approached by Fumio Mieda, an engineer who wanted to build a new type of organ. Unlike most organs of the time, Mieda's version was programmable. Although he used the word 'organ' himself, Mieda had in fact designed a synthesizer. Fifty copies were produced and sold under the new name Korg, which was a contraction of the names Keio and Organ. During the 1970s, Korg developed a variety of synthesizer models such as the Mini Korg, PE-1000 Polyphonic Ensamble and MS-20. The company didn't limit itself to synthesizers. 1975 saw the launch of the world's first pocket-sized tuner, the WT-10, a product that has since been followed by countless others. In 1981 came the PolySix, a synthesizer that was unique in that it was programmable, polyphonic and (perhaps most importantly) so cheap that virtually anyone could afford to buy one. Another big step forward came in 1988 with the Korg M1, a synthesizer that featured realistic sample-based sounds, a drum machine, sequencer and digital effects unit, all combined in one instrument - the world's first workstation, in short.
