3.14 The recording metronome
Whenever RECORD or OVERDUB mode is entered, a click sound is heard
through the stereo mix outputs on every U4 note, with a louder click at the
start of each bar. This is the recording metronome. There are two
metronome adjustments, both of which are accessed by pressing the
OTHER key, which displays the following screen:
The three metronome adjustments are:
• The METRONOME field:
This field controls the volume of the metronome, both to the stereo mix
and the to the metronome output jack. The range is 0 (off) to 14 (full
volume).
• The RATE field:
This field controls the note value of the metronome. Normally, the
metronome plays 1/4 notes. In this field it is possible to change that
value to one of eight options:
1/4 notes 1/4 triplets 1/8 notes 1/8 triplets
1/16 notes 1/16 triplets 1/32 notes 1/32 triplets
• The IN PLAY field:
This is a choice field which has two options:
1. "NO": The metronome is only heard during RECORD or
OVERDUB modes, but not while in PLAY mode.
2. "YES": The metronone is heard in PLAY, as well as in
RECORD and OVERDUB modes.
The rear panel metronome output jack
The output of the metronome is routed to its own individual jack on the
rear panel, the METRO OUT jack. The output level at this jack is also
controlled by the metronome VOLUME field, above. If a plug is inserted
into this jack, the metronome will no longer be heard in the stereo mix.
When the plug is removed, the metronome will once again be heard in the
mix.
