Metronome - Roland VS-2400CD Owner's Manual

Metronome

When you're using the project tempo map (see above), the VS-2400CD provides a built-
in metronome you can use during recording and playback. The metronome's tempo
comes from the tempo map, so the metronome slows down and speeds up along with
the project tempo.
You can play the metronome internally using a variety of onboard sounds, including a
simple, programmable beat box. You can send the metronome out to performers'
headphones mixes. The metronome can also generate MIDI notes that play percussion
sounds produced by an external MIDI device (Page 292).
When the metronome is used internally, it's normally sent to the VS-2400CD's
MONITOR bus—in order to hear the metronome, therefore, you have to be listening to
the MONITOR bus. You can also send the metronome to other VS-2400CD's outputs as
described in "Sending the Metronome to Outputs" on Page 364.
METRONOME OUT
METRONOME OUT turns on the metronome and configures it for internal use or for
MIDI use. You can set the parameter to Off, INT ("Internal") or MIDI.
INT LEVEL
When the metronome is being used internally, this parameter sets its volume, from
-∞ to 6.0dB. the default setting is 0.0dB.
