Here is Being boiled yet again, this time being used to demonstrate the improvements in the metronome over the last 24 hours.

First off, the blue pulse that slides along the 32 beats steps has got way smoother and is now in that 'Nails like Butter (™)' zone.

Second, the brightness of the metronome is now under the control of the sequencer. So any time you want a bright metronome, just command it to be brightened. Brightening is instant, fading is IIRd for that 'Smooother than Galaxy Caramel' effect.

And thirdly, and I think finally, the LEDs (or 'LEDs' if you insist) fade-out at a rate driven by the current BPM, in an attempt to maximize the ability to read the beat no matter how fast or slow your track is moving along.

I do have square and round LEDs available, but I much prefer the square ones, you get a giant bar of colour and the ONE just shouts at you."
