27 Klopfgeist
Klopfgeist is an instrument that is optimized to provide a
metronome click in Logic Pro.
Klopfgeist is inserted on instrument channel 128 by default, and used to generate the
MIDI metronome click.
Theoretically, any other Logic Pro or third-party instrument could be used as a
metronome sound source on instrument channel 128. Similarly, Klopfgeist can be
inserted on any other instrument channel for use as an instrument.
A look at Klopfgeist’s parameters will, however, clearly show that it is a synthesizer
designed to create the metronome’s clicking sound.
 Trigger Mode buttons: Click to operate Klopfgeist as a monophonic or polyphonic (4
voice) instrument.
 Tune knob and field: Tunes Klopfgeist in semitone steps.
 Detune knob and field: Fine-tunes Klopfgeist’s in cents.
 Tonality slider and field: Changes the sound of Klopfgeist from a short click to a
pitched percussion sound—similar to a Wood Block or Claves.
 Damp slider and field: Controls the release time. The shortest release time is reached
when Damp is at its maximum (1.00) value.
