Sorry I haven't used the DB90 to produce polyrythm patterns, however, I believe it could be used for that. At first blush I would say if I wanted to do that I would use my drum machine, only because it has more instruments to trigger and it would then be easier for me to hear it. I'm also not familial with the DB60's features, so its difficult for me to compare the two.

how do you use this in a live setting?

hooked up to the moniters?

[frankmroberts]

We run the out from the DB90 into our Aviom system (in ear monitors). That way the band can hear the click track, but the folks out front can't. The cool thing about the Aviom is that each member can then mix there own monitor mix. In a practice enviromement I've also just plugged the metronome into the sound board. I've found this to be a valuable tool as a drummer, that way it is a little less like herding cats...

Are you able to use that live? It doesn't seem like its display would be visible enough.

[frankmroberts]

In the video it does seem not bright enought, (since I took it in a bright room), however it seems to be bright enought in my current playing environment. thanks for asking!

[frankmroberts]

That is why I showed how to turn the light on. Turning the light on helps a bunch. Sorry it is hard to see in the video...

Hah, and by "gig" you mean "morning worship"... which happens to be exactly why I'm watching this. Thanks for the explanation!

@frankmroberts This information is also very helpful to know as we use Aviom in our worship band. Thanks

[ArtDonna84]

Thank you for taking the time to help those of us who can't understand manuals to well. or just hate them.  You provide a smooth, easy to follow and clear understanding for me and my son to use our DB-90. Appreciate it very much.

@frankmroberts Hy!I have a question.Can you set this metronome to play one bar then not to play the second bar an so on an on?Sorry for bad english..i hope you understand

[limaktba]

@sreiter11 I was wondering about this too. I think the setting [4-4] actually means two bars or 4/4.

@frankmroberts これは使える？

[sreiter11]

you set "beat" to 4-4 [time] one what the boss manual calls "beat 2". If I set it to 4 on "beat 1". I get the same thing, 4/4 time.Do you know if there is a difference?
