Metronome

The following actions can be performed to manipulate the metronome in OnSong.

Control

Controls the playback state of the metronome.

• Start the metronome.
• Stop the metronome.
• Toggle the metronome on or off depending on the current state of the metronome.

Pan

Changes the position of the metronome in the stereo plane.

• Adjust the position of the metronome from left to right using a variable trigger.
• Left places the metronome into the left channel.
• Center places the metronome into the center, using both left and right channels.
• Right places the metronome into the right channel.

Tempo

Change the tempo of the metronome.

• Adjust the tempo of the song using variable input from between minimum and maximum tempos.
• Change lets you change to a tempo using the Tempo Picker.
• Increase the tempo of the song by 1 BPM.
• Decrease the tempo of the song by 1 BPM.
• Tap changes the tempo of the current song based on taps. This taken into account the current time signature. This should not be used on high latency foot pedals since they are designed to forgive accidental foot taps or double entry.

Volume

Changes the volume of the metronome.

• Adjust the volume of the metronome using a variable trigger.
• Increase the volume of the metronome using the default increment of 6.25%.
• Decrease the volume of the metronome using the default increment of 6.25%.
• Mute the metronome, allowing it to continue to keep time and optionally blink the menubar. This is great to use for practice to see if the beat can be maintained without click reinforcement.
