Programmed Track Mode
When starting the plugin as a viewer for tempomap files (ending in .tempo), it starts
in the track mode that offers playback of a preprogrammed metronome track consisting
out of multiple parts, each with possibly different properties.
In contrast to the simple mode, there exists the notion of meter and bars, along with
emphasis on certain beats. Parts can have these properties:
• finite or infinite duration in bars (navigation only jumps to the beginning of infinite
parts),
• differing meters (4/4, 3/4, 6/8, etc., default 4/4),
• differing tempo (always in quarter beats per minute, default 120) with
– one tempo per bar or even one tempo per beat, or
– smooth tempo changes with configurable acceleration, and
• custom beat patterns (tick/tock/silence on each beat), default being emphasis
(tick) on first beat, normal sound (tock) on others.
The button mapping is different to enable navigation in the programmed track.
