Metronome issues

Metronome issues

2002-04-11 by Roger Powell

Anybody run into these metronome issues?

1) Metronome sound is passed through FX, making it
hard to use if a delay effect is engaged. Where's the
metronome sound coming from? Do I need to assign it to
an empty SEND somehow?

2) What's the point of being able to turn the
metronome sound off, but still have the now-silent
count-in occur? In other machines, there is a mode
where the metronome can be assigned to playback and/or
record, or off. When "off" or "playback", any count-in
is typically skipped.

3) Why do you need to go into pattern RECORD in order
to access the metronome? Doesn't arming record cause
the machine to think the pattern needs to be saved? I
know you can get to the metronome in Pattern Edit, but
that's clumsy when you're recording pattern tracks and
just want to quickly enable/disable it.

4) How do I control the volume of the metronome sound?

I apologize if there's something I'm missing here and
there's an obvious answer to any of these.

first thing I want to say is I almost always just replace the 
metronome a more musical sound in one of my presets.  By dooing this 
you can change the volume and the type of sound so you can hear it 
in whatever situation you are in.

I don't think I have ever had this happen.

I just don't see this as a issue. But that is just me.

If you are recording patterns are you not going into record mode?

You mean recording a part to act as if it were the metronome?
