A metronome (from Ancient Greek μέτρον (métron) 'measure' and νόμος (nómos) 'law') is a device that produces an audible click or other sound at a uniform interval that can be set by the user, typically in beats per minute (BPM). Metronomes may also include synchronized visual motion, such as a swinging pendulum or a blinking light.

The inclusion of two or three times as many syllables in the bars causes the lyrics to be described as being in "double-time" or "triple-time".

The metronomes are set up on the performance platform, and they are then all wound to their maximum extent and set to different speeds. Once they are all fully wound, there is a silence of two to six minutes, at the discretion of the conductor; then, at the conductor's signal, all of the metronomes are started as simultaneously as possible.
Examples of metric modulation may include changes in time signature across an unchanging tempo, but the concept applies more specifically to shifts from one time signature/tempo to another, wherein a note value from the first is made equivalent to a note value in the second, like a pivot or bridge.
The silent red metronome was designed by international artist Vratislav Novák, and officially named "Time Machine". [2] [3] It may be the largest metronome in the world, although Geneva (since 1972) and Gdańsk (since 2016) each have a larger pendulum clock. [4] [5] The Prague Metronome is functional, but it is not always in operation. [6]
