Output (assignment): Provided the audio hardware used by Logic offers more than two
outputs, this field allows the routing of the Klopfgeist metronome sound to a different
set of hardware outputs.
Note: Klopfgeist is a software instrument found in the Mono plug-in menu of Audio
Instrument channels. Klopfgeist is inserted on Audio Instrument channel #64, by
default. Logic will automatically create Audio Instrument channel #64 (with Klopfgeist
inserted) when the Klopfgeist checkbox is activated. Theoretically, any other Logic or
third-party instrument could be deployed as a metronome sound source—using Audio
Instrument channel 64.
Klopfgeist can also be used as a simple and unique software instrument as well. The
Klopfgeist Plug-in window offers a few additional sound parameters over those found
in the Metronome window.
Other Settings
Metronome plays through built-in speakers
This sends the metronome click to the computer loudspeaker.
Note: The System Preferences > Sound pane must be set to Internal Speakers in order
for the speaker click function to work.
Click while recording (e)
The metronome click is automatically switched on for recording. This is the same as
activating the Metronome button in the Transport Bar during recording.
Only during count-in
When this option is active, the recording mode click will only be audible during the
song count in, and is then switched off.
Click while playing (p)
The metronome click is automatically switched on for playback. This is the same as
activating the Metronome button in the Transport Bar during playback.
Polyphonic Clicks
The MIDI Metronome Environment Object sends notes, as defined for bars, beats, and
divisions. As an example, two or three notes may be sent simultaneously at the
beginning of each measure. If this option is unchecked, the metronome will only
transmit one note at a time.
