Setting Up Metronome Click Patterns for Signature Events

You can set up a metronome click pattern for each signature event in your project. This is useful if you have different project parts with different time signatures, and you want to customize click patterns to the rhythm and feel of these parts. You can also add the same time signature for different sections and set up different patterns for them.

Procedure

  1. Double-click the plus sign or the pattern to the right of the time signature value to open the Click Pattern Editor.
  2. Do one of the following:

    • Open the Pattern pop-up menu and select one of the presets.

    • Use the Clicks setting to define the number of clicks that you want to hear, and click in the event display to set up a new click pattern.

  3. When you are done, click outside the Click Pattern Editor to close it.
  4. Repeat this for each signature event for which you want to set up a click pattern.

Result

If you play back the project and activate the metronome click, the different project parts use the defined click patterns. The Click Pattern Editor in the Transport shows the pattern at the project cursor position.
