feedBack Plugin: Metronome

A plugin for feedBack that adds an audible metronome click and visual beat flash to the highway player, synced to the song's tempo.

Features

• Audible click — plays a sine tone on every beat, with a higher pitch on downbeats (measure starts)
• Visual flash — subtle amber glow on the highway canvas on each beat (brighter on downbeats)
• Tempo-synced — follows the song's actual beat map, including tempo changes
• Toggle button — click "Metronome" in the player controls to enable/disable
• Zero setup — no configuration needed, works with any song

Installation

cd /path/to/feedBack/plugins
git clone https://github.com/got-feedback/feedback-plugin-metronome.git metronome
docker compose restart

A "Metronome" button will appear in the player controls bar when you play a song.

How It Works

Arrangements include precise beat timing data with measure markers. The plugin reads this beat data from the highway renderer and triggers a click sound and visual flash at each beat position. Downbeats (first beat of each measure) get a higher-pitched click and a brighter flash.
