Sound or Sight

Special thanks to Brad Sparks for the inspiration for this app. 

Anyone within the E1 zone may play with what they hear from the battery/metronome with negligible effect on time. E2 is similar, though with the error determined by milliseconds, rather than musical calculations.

If the conductor and pulse source are visually together, anyone within the same ring as the metronome/battery may play with the conductor. For each ring outwards from the one which contains the battery/metronome, performers anticipate the conductor by one 32nd note. For each ring inwards from the battery/metronome, performers delay by one 32nd note.

Move the pulse source (top of the ellipse) to a section of the field. The blue represents the “safe listening area” in which performers can listen for time. The safe zone is defined by the note duration selection for the allowable error (adjustable as shown in screenshot 3) and tempo slider. The audience target is set in Sight or Sound on the 50-yard line only but is adjustable (shown in screenshot 2) vertically. Screenshot 4 shows the detail reveal.
