Storage for 86 tempo settings.

Yamaha has introduced a new concept in traditional timekeeping with the debut of the ClickStation programmable metronome. ClickStation features a small, round vibrating pad that pulsates with the beat, providing time reference through the sense of feel - eliminating the need for audible or visual cues, plus individual fader-type volume controls for half-, quarter-, eighth- and sixteenth-note, as well as eighth-note triplets and accompaniment, and storage for 86 tempo settings that you can chain together.

The ClickStation is also equipped MIDI allowing you to sync with a sequencer or other MIDI device. Its trigger input jack provides remote start/stop of playback, or tap tempo functions from an electronic drum pad. Other features include an easy-to-read backlit LCD display, plus a 10-key pad for tempo input and quick access to functions.

86 memory allocations
ClickStation gives you the ability to save 86 tempos to have readily accessible. If you are going to use it in a live situation you can program up to 10 chains of 20 songs, making transitions between songs quick and smooth.

Feel the Tempo
The ClickStation has a small round vibrating pad so if you can't hear it or watch the light you can press the pad to feel the tempo.

Individual Subdivision Volume Adjustment
You have individual sliders to adjust the volume in subdivisions of half, quarter, eighth, sixteenth notes and eighth note triplets, and accompaniment. This lets you fine-tune the volume output of each subdivision read more to create complex rhythms.

Backlit LCD Display
This feature let's you see the LCD display even on a dark stage. It can be set to stay on as long as the power is on or to switch of to save battery power.

10-Key Pad
In addition to the jog dial, the 10-key pad provides past input of tempos and access to ClickStation's functions.

MIDI In Jack

(see rating details)
there would have to be a pretty killer product to make me trash this one. Only bad thing is that you have to buy a power supply seperately. It runs off of 3 AAA batteries fine.
Sound
the click sounds are a good frequency to cut through background and band noise...even to hear over your snare drum!
Features
the vibrating pad is awesome! just reach over and touch the pad, and you can keep your eyes on the band, or what is going on. Subdivided volume controls are great. Midi connection captures rhythms from sequencers, etc. 2 line outs for headphones or to mix in your monitors...too much to describe
Quality
I have seen nothing to make me rate quality any less than a 10
Value
pricey, but comparable to the competition (tama, boss, etc.) and this is an item you should only have to buy once
Manufacturer Support
Yamaha is tops.
The Wow Factor
I wanted it pretty bad...every musician should have a metronome, and this is perfect for drummers.

Musical Style:

rock, jazz / blues, all kinds
