Setting Description
Metronome
ENABLED Activates/deactivates the metronome. A metronome is a device used by
musicians that marks time at a selected rate by giving a regular tick in
beats per minute.
LEVEL Adjusts the volume level of the metronome.
TIME Selects the time interval between each tick of the metronome. By default
the metronome indicates quarter notes (1/4).
AUTO-ON Automatically turns on the metronome when you start recording a Pattern.
When you start recording a Pattern, the metronome is automatically
enabled. When you exit recording the metronome returns to its state before
the recording (this can be on or off). The Auto-on option does not affect the
Count-in: Even if Auto-on is deactivated, the metronome turns on when you
press SHIFT + REC to start the Count-in.
Count-In
LENGTH Sets the duration of the Count-in, for instance, how long the metronome
will sound before the recording actually starts.
Time Signature
NUMERATOR Sets the number of beats in a measure. For example, in 4/4, there are 4
beats per measure.
DENOMINATOR Sets which type of note receives one beat. If the denominator is a 4, a
quarter note counts as one beat; if the denominator is an 8, an eighth note
counts as one beat; if the denominator is a 16, a 16th note counts as one
beat, and so on...
