KlopfGeist

KlopfGeist is an instrument that is optimized to provide a
metronome click in Logic.

KlopfGeist is inserted on Audio Instrument channel 16 by default. Logic automatically
assigns this channel to the Metronome Object, making KlopfGeist the synthesizer
responsible for the metronome click.

Theoretically, any other Logic or third-party instrument could be used as a metronome
sound source on Audio Instrument channel 16. Similarly, KlopfGeist can be inserted on
any other Audio Instrument channel for use as an instrument.

A look at KlopfGeist’s Plug-in window will, however, clearly show that it is a synthesizer
designed to create the metronome’s clicking sound.
