KORG MA-2-BLBK

Metronome with all the desirable features and an incredible battery life! 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 9 different time signatures and 8 subdivisions. 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. The display has both arrows and a pendulum to show the tempo. On the back you will find a fold-out support so you can put your MA-2 on a table when practicing. MA-2 also has selectable tuning from C4-B4 so you can tune your instrument without having to pick up another device. Timer Mode Built into the metronome is something called Timer Mode where you can set an interval when the metronome stops. This is a practice function to see if you can pick the same tempo again even if the metronome has stopped. A very flexible, easy-to-use and complete metronome with an incredible battery life, up to 400h depending on which batteries you use and what mode and volume you use. Perfect for practicing and playing with a band or ensemble.

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 just 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.
