It’s amazing the QC finally has a metronome.

However, it has some limitations I would like to request them:

- I need the option to have either just the kick or the hihat (great for a stamp box in my live sets)
- I need to go above 240bpm (up to 500bpm for the use case of odd rhythms - 240 is too slow for 7/8 - check out Bulgarian music)
- I need 9/8, 11/8, 13/8, 15/8 and program their subdivisions as I need them

Why not give the option to program your own accents like for instance this app?  
The most amazing thing you could do is still this feature request from 2021…

The manufacturer, as it were, implies that the owner of such a device is already super professional and does not need to train a sense of rhythm, or uses a DAW or a slave-drummer for this.

Here’s an example how accents could work and how you have to set the metronome to over 400bpm to have a fast 9/8 rhythm from the Balkans 🙂
