Yamaha ClickStation Metronome

Yamaha Clickstation Metronome

The Yamaha ClickStation features a small, round vibrating pad that pulsates with the beat, providing you with time reference through the sense of feel, and eliminating the need for audible or visual cues. Individual fader-type volume controls for half-, quarter-, eighth- and sixteenth-note, plus eighth-note triplets and accompaniment allow the user to fine tune the volume for beat subdivisions.

Up to 86 tempo settings in the ClickStation can be saved as songs and preset into a chain in the internal memory for quick recall and consecutive playback, making the ClickStation an ideal accessory for a set list or other live performance application.
