MIDI Click Object
The MIDI Click object is used to create note events at bar, beat, and division intervals.
These can be sent to either a MIDI port or the internal speaker.
To create a MIDI Click object:
m Choose New > MIDI Metronome Click in the local Environment menu.
Each project can have only one MIDI Click object. You only need to create a MIDI Click
object if the one that existed when the project was created has been deleted.
There is a button on the Transport bar that turns the MIDI click on and off.
A Control-click on this button will allow you to open the File > Project Settings >
Metronome (see “
Metronome Settings ” on page 963). In this pane, you can also set the
MIDI click to play during recording or playback. This dialog mirrors the settings in the
Parameter box of the MIDI Click object: Checkboxes for Bar, Beat, and Division allow
you to generate note events separately for bars, beats, and divisions. The Channel,
Note, and Velocity parameters define the MIDI channel, note number, and velocity of
generated notes. The MIDI Port parameter allows you to set a direct output port for the
metronome.
