Metronome Settings
The Metronome project settings combine all speaker click, MIDI click, and KlopfGeist—
a virtual metronome sound source—parameters. (See the KlopfGeist chapter in the
Logic Express 8 Instruments and Effects manual for details). KlopfGeist can be used in
addition to, or in place of, the speaker and MIDI click sources.
To open the Metronome project settings, do one of the following:
m Choose File > Project Settings > Metronome (or use the corresponding key command).
m Click the Toolbar Settings button, then choose Metronome from the menu.
m Control-click the Metronome button in the Transport bar, and choose Metronome
Settings from the shortcut menu.
MIDI Click Settings
The MIDI Click settings mirror those in the Parameter box of the MIDI Click object:
 Bar, Beat, and Division checkboxes: Switch on to generate separate note events for
bars, beats, and divisions.
 Channel, Note, and Velocity parameters: Define the MIDI channel, note number, and
velocity of generated notes.
 MIDI Port menu: Allows you to set a direct MIDI output port (or all ports) for the
metronome.
 Metronome plays through built-in speakers: This sends the metronome click to the
computer’s loudspeaker. The System Preferences > Sound pane must be set to
Internal Speakers (Port: Built-in Audio) in order for the speaker click function to work.
