With selectable CGBVU tuning modes, the Beacon caters to a range of musicians, offering an easy switch between Chromatic, Guitar, Bass, Violin, and Ukulele modes. The speedy, exact tuning calibration is made simple by the easy-to-read dot/strobe display, providing a clear visual guide as you fine-tune your instrument. Adjust your reference pitch Hz values anywhere between 430-450 Hz to achieve your desired sound. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a fresh beginner, the Beacon's versatile tuning capabilities ensure your instrument is always performance-ready.
Never miss a beat with the Beacon's metronome mode, an invaluable tool that will get your timing perfected. This feature caters to a range of musical styles with 12 pre-set time signatures to choose from. Whether you're keeping the beat steady or experimenting with complex rhythms, you can set the pace as per your needs with a selectable bpm range from 30-208.
The click volume is under your control too, with three adjustable levels — silent, low, and high. This ensures you can practice at a volume that suits your environment or personal preference. The visual learners out there will appreciate the intuitive LED display that syncs with your beats, moving back and forth to provide a clear visual timing guide. With the Beacon's metronome mode, you'll be stepping up your rhythm game in no time.
The Beacon also boasts a versatile timer feature, ensuring you're always on track with your performances or practice sessions. With a maximum allotted time of 89 minutes and 59 seconds, this feature ensures you can manage your sets with precision. Once the countdown reaches zero, it automatically resets and continues, providing you with seamless time management.
Need to reset? No worries! Just hold down the button, and the timer resets to zero instantly, saving you valuable time in the middle of a set or practice. Plus, this timer continues to work even while you're using any other mode, ensuring you never lose track of time while tuning or using the metronome. In essence, the Beacon's timer feature is always there, quietly working in the background to keep your sessions perfectly timed.
Never lose sight of time during your sessions with the Beacon's countdown mode. It allows you to meticulously track your live sets or practice sessions, accommodating up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds. And the best part? The countdown seamlessly continues even while you're utilising other modes.
Moreover, a sonic alarm ensures you're alerted the moment your countdown hits zero, regardless of the mode you're currently using. It's this level of attention to detail that makes the Beacon an indispensable asset in managing your time effectively and efficiently during your musical journey.
Last of all, the Beacon's built-in torch will keep your important sheet music illuminated on those dimly-lit stages, and also keep you having to reach for your smartphone's flashlight mode when you're getting your gear setup.
