The Pilot Zone
The Metronome
To add a click sound to playback and/or recording (as
specified on the Program Settings Page, see “The Pro-
gram Settings Page” on page 77), activate the Metro-
nome button. The metronome will follow the project tempo
and time signature.
Deactivating this button will turn off the metronome click.
Ö You can also adjust the Metronome volume. For more
information on the Metronome and its setting, see “Turn-
ing on the Metronome click” on page 14.
Computer Usage
On the right side of the Pilot Zone, there is a Computer
Usage indicator.
If your computer is trying to do too many things at once, it
may overload. The indicator shows the current processor
load of your computer. If two or three bars light up, the
workload is quite high. In case of an overload, the circle to
the far right will also light up. If this happens, you should
try to reduce the processor load, e.g. by freezing tracks,
see “Freezing Audio tracks” on page 52 and “Freezing in-
strument tracks” on page 52.
The Pilot Zone display
The Pilot Zone display contains important information
about your project. Displayed from left to right are the
Song Position, the Tempo, the Time Signature and the
Project Root Key.
