Klopfgeist is an instrument that provides a metronome click. It is inserted in instrument channel strip 256 by default and is used to generate the MIDI metronome click.
Klopfgeist can also be inserted in any other instrument channel strip for use as an instrument.
Klopfgeist has a number of synthesizer parameters that you can use to quickly create metronome click sounds.
Trigger Mode buttons: Enable Poly to use Klopfgeist as a four-voice polyphonic instrument. Enable Mono to use it as a monophonic instrument.
Tune knob and field: Tune Klopfgeist in semitone steps.
Detune knob and field: Rotate to fine-tune in cents (one cent equals 1/100th of a semitone).
Tonality slider and field: Change the sound from a short click to a pitched percussion sound, similar to a wood block or claves.
Damp slider and field: Set the release time. The shortest release time is attained when Damp is at its maximum value.
Level via Vel slider and fields: Set velocity sensitivity. The top slider sets the volume at maximum velocity. The lower slider sets the volume at minimum velocity. Drag the area between the two slider segments to move both simultaneously.
