Yup. Hi!

What's up?

Hey. Sorry for the delay.

I've been trying to find a metronome that does the following:

Syncs to external MIDI clock (or virtual MIDI router) or can be used stand alone.
Plays a MIDI note for beat one and another MIDI note for other beats.
Flashes a red "light" for beat one and green lights for other beats.

I've tried programming a rudimentary metronome in VB that doesn't use MIDI (I'm not there yet). Using the sndPlaySound function.

I've tried using a timer ... set to 60000 / x. Where x is the number of beats per minute. Problem is I can't really figure out how to get it to loop using Sound1 and then going on to Sound2 for the next beats.
