'; DefineToolTipTerm['Review of Bounce Metronome Pro']='Have you ever found it difficult to play along with a standard click track? Bounce Metronome Pro is a PC application supporting all time signatures, swing, and lots of clever stuff like paradiddles, polyrhythms and gradual tempo changes. Its secret is incorporating various visual options such as 3D bouncing balls, animated drumsticks and conductor’s baton graphics. Rather like those used in karaoke machines, their rise and fall incorporates a ‘gravity bounce’ that feels like having your own conductor to help you keep in time. I found it reliable enough to abandon audio clicks altogether and use as a silent metronome, which also makes it useful for deaf musicians. Studio owners could display it on screen in their live rooms to keep players in time without them requiring headphones, while a special screen reader is available to blind musicians too (review continues)...

If the transcription sounds similar in general shape to the original but varies in pitch far less than expected - you may have a midi synth that can only play the standard pitch bend range - or even one that is unable to play pitch bends at all though that is rare.
