- 31:26products
- 31:27designed
- 31:27for
- 31:27mass
- 31:27manufacturing
- 31:28because
- 31:29there
- 31:29are
- 31:29simply
- 31:29so
- 31:30few
- 31:30projects

- 32:03the
- 32:03factories
- 32:04that
- 32:04manufacture
- 32:05Apple
- 32:05products,
- 32:05they
- 32:06control

- 32:21idea
- 32:21of
- 32:22the
- 32:22scale.
- 32:22So
- 32:22they
- 32:23couldn't
- 32:23even
- 32:23find

- 32:34components
- 32:35are
- 32:35manufactured
- 32:35there,
- 32:36so
- 32:36you'd

- 41:45something
- 41:45we
- 41:46haven't
- 41:46talked
- 41:46about
- 41:46much
- 41:46is
- 41:47actually
- 41:47our
- 41:47software
- 41:48side
- 41:48the
- 41:48of
- 41:48of
- 41:48the
- 41:49business.
- 41:49So
- 41:49it
- 41:50kind
- 41:50of
- 41:50happened
- 41:50by
- 41:50accident.
- 41:53When
- 41:53we
- 41:53designed
- 41:54the
- 41:54vibrating
- 41:55metronome,
- 41:56we
- 41:56wanted
- 41:56to
- 41:56keep
- 41:57the
- 41:57interface
- 41:57really
- 41:58simple.
- 41:59So
- 41:59that
- 41:59meant
- 42:00that
- 42:00we
- 42:01would
- 42:02basically
- 42:02use
- 42:03a
- 42:03phone
- 42:04to
- 42:04change
- 42:04most
- 42:04of
- 42:05the
- 42:05advanced
- 42:05settings,
- 42:06like
- 42:07assigning

- 42:11building
- 42:11a
- 42:12library,
- 42:12and
- 42:12set
- 42:13lists
- 42:13so
- 42:13you
- 42:13don't
- 42:14have
- 42:14to
- 42:14program
- 42:14everything
- 42:15every
- 42:15time.
- 42:16So
- 42:16basically
- 42:16we
- 42:16made
- 42:16this
- 42:17elaborate
- 42:17metronome
- 42:18app
- 42:18to
- 42:18control
- 42:19the
- 42:19hardware.
- 42:19And
- 42:20then
- 42:20we
- 42:20had
- 42:20the
- 42:20idea
- 42:21to
- 42:21say,
- 42:21oh,

- 42:23to
- 42:23be
- 42:23free
- 42:23for
- 42:23everybody.
- 42:24And
- 42:25maybe
- 42:25then
- 42:26it
- 42:26would
- 42:26be
- 42:26a
- 42:26great
- 42:27promotional
- 42:27tool.
- 42:27People
- 42:28would
- 42:28like
- 42:28our
- 42:28app,
- 42:29and
- 42:29then
- 42:29they
- 42:29would
- 42:29upgrade
- 42:30to
- 42:30the
- 42:30hardware.
- 42:31And
- 42:31it
- 42:31turned
- 42:32out
- 42:32that
- 42:32was
- 42:33a
- 42:33really
- 42:33good
- 42:33decision
- 42:34because
- 42:34the
- 42:34app
- 42:35really
- 42:35took
- 42:35off
- 42:36and
- 42:36it's
- 42:36now
- 42:37the
- 42:37top
- 42:37metronome
- 42:38app
- 42:38in
- 42:38the
- 42:38world.
- 42:38Nice.
- 42:39So
- 42:39that
- 42:39means
- 42:40we
- 42:40have
- 42:40around
- 42:418
- 42:41million
- 42:42downloads
- 42:42of
- 42:42the
- 42:42app,
- 42:43and
- 42:43there's
- 42:43about
- 42:44700,000
- 42:44musicians
- 42:45that
- 42:45use

- 42:46every
- 42:46month
- 42:46to
- 42:47play

- 42:50much
- 42:50more

- 42:58hardware
- 42:58costs
- 42:59money
- 42:59and
- 42:59the
- 42:59app
