FAQs

If you can't find your answer, contact us!

  • How long is the battery life of Core 2?

    4+ days in watch mode, or 3+ hours metronome playback

  • Is Core 2 waterproof?

    It's splash resistant (IP65). This means it can withstand light rain or water splashes, for example while washing your hands. However, it can not withstand heavy rain, showers or water immersion.

  • Can I sync Core 2 to my DAW?

    Yes, DAW support is currently in beta. For more information please visit here.

  • Can I turn off the LED lights on Core 2?

    Yes, you can customize the colors of the LED lights or turn them off completely!

  • Why can’t I just use my other wearable, e.g. Fitbit or Apple Watch, instead of Core 2?

    We use a 7G ERM haptic motor powered by a special haptic driver. This creates vibrations unlike in other wearables. More distinct and precise & 700% more powerful than most devices. This powerful hardware is not a gimmick that sounds cool, but a requirement for a vibrating metronome to work.

  • Where can I wear Core 2?

    The silicone strap and the Italian leather strap (Core Steel only) are designed for the wrist. In addition, both versions come with a body strap that allows you to wear the Core on your arm, ankle, chest, shoulder or thigh.

  • What wrist sizes is Core 2 designed for?

    Fits wrists with 140mm - 210mm / 5.5 in - 8.3 in

  • What’s the difference between Pulse, Core 2 and Core Steel 2?

    The Pulse is our entry level product that features just a vibrating metronome. You can change the rhythm on the device, but it has no screen so for precise adjustment you have to use the companion app. The Pulse has a longer battery life, but also a much bigger size than the Core. The body strap comes not included and is available for purchase separately.

    The Core 2 doesn't just feature a vibrating metronome, but also a practice tracker, chromatic tuner, decibel meter and smartwatch features. It comes with a screen, so precise adjustments can be made right on the device. It is not just a music tool, but can also be used as your daily watch. The body strap comes included with each Core for free.

    The Core Steel 2 has the exact same features as the Core. On top of that, it's made from a premium full stainless steel casing and besides the silicone strap, it comes with an Italian leather strap. It also includes a bonus carrying pouch.

  • Is my phone compatible with Core 2?

    For up to date compatibility information please click here.

  • How many devices can sync with Core 2 at the same time via multi-player sync?

    You can sync up to 5 Soundbrenner wearables via Bluetooth to the same mobile device. You can sync just Pulse, just Core or a mix of both.

    If you want to sync more than 5 Soundbrenner wearables, you can link multiple mobile devices via a technology called Ableton Link that we support. You can then connect 5 Soundbrenner wearables to each linked mobile device. For more information please click here.

  • How do I charge Core 2?

    The device comes with a USB charging cable that works with any regular USB port.

  • Is Core 2 safe if I have a pacemaker or other medical devices?

    It contains strong magnets that may interfere with some medical devices. We recommend to consult with your physician before using the product.
