This review is from: Korg KDM-2 True Tone Advanced Digital Metronomebut it doesn't do much more than the less-expensive Korg MA-30. That said, I like the KDM-2 quite a bit. It's an improvement on the KDM-1 (which I like very much also - it's just a more basic metronome), and similarly designed. The KDM-2 shares these features with the MA-30: tap-in beat; subdivided beats; 12 calibrated tuning notes (you can choose the exact tuning - A=440, 441, etc); mute button. The added KDM-2 features: son clave & rumba beats (3-2, and 2-3); choice of 4 different click sounds; LCD display; LED beat indicator; loud volume (I play trumpet & have no problem hearing the metronome), and tempo selection in standard metronomic increments (60, 63, 66, etc) in addition to +/- 1 beats (60, 61, 62, etc). You should get the KDM-2 instead of the MA-30 if you need the extra latin beats, the different click sounds (at least one of which should cut through most loud playing, or possibly small ensemble volume) or the LED indicator (the light however doesn't seem as strong as that of the KDM-1). If these extras aren't enough, the MA-30 would be an excellent choice....
This review is from: Korg KDM-2 True Tone Advanced Digital MetronomeI purchased this as a gift for my wife for her piano. As far as we are concerned, this thing is perfect. It's intuitive and easy to use. It's loud. It has more beats than we'll probably ever use, and it has a number of other nice features that make it a perfect metronome for our (her) needs.The device is also rather small. I pictured it bigger, but was surprised to find that it is tiny and doesn't draw too much attention while sitting on the piano. Among the other metronomes I've looked at, this one is also rather pleasing aesthetically -- though that is hardly a reason to buy.The main reason to buy this is that it is loud with a nice click sound and it can be used for any instrument, even drums. I balked at the price, but it is a precision device and it shows. We are very pleased....
This review is from: Korg KDM-2 True Tone Advanced Digital MetronomeActually, a GREAT metronome, except apparently I'm the only one who finds the dial exasperatingly hard to turn. A simple set of up/down buttons would have been much more ergonomic. I solved the design flaw with carpet tape (double-sided duct tape) and the tops of two zip ties. I posted an image under "customer images". Now it works beautifully and is easy as pie to spin to the desired tempo. I rated only one star in an effort to get Korg's attention. Really an excellent product with an annoyingly designed tempo dial....
