midi clock click
Enables or disables the midi metronome ‘click’ generator. This function generates a metronome
reference using a specific midi channel and note number, and can be used as a tempo cue for live
performers.
click midi channel
Determines which midi channel is used to transmit the note on / note off messages for the metronome
clicks. Default is channel 10.
click midi note #
Determines which note is used for the midi metronome click. Default is 76 (high wood block in the
general midi drum map specification).
click velocity
Determines the velocity of the clock clicks. On each downbeat (quarter note #1), the click is transmitted
with a velocity of 127; for the other three beats, the clicks are transmitted using this parameter’s
velocity level. If an unaccentuated downbeat is preferred (if using a time signature other than 4/4),
simply set this parameter to 127 for all metronome clicks to have the same velocity level.
keyboard clock LEDs
Enables or disables the visual tempo/count reference using the three LEDs on the computer’s
keyboard. This visual reference is automatically synced to either converter’s internal clock generator, or
to an external midi clock source. For those who are hardware-inclined
∗
, a cable could be soldered to a
cheap ‘throw-away’ keyboard and connected to a box with three LEDs in order to provide a remote
countoff cue source.
Individuals using the midi port on the Gravis Ultrasound for midi input are recommended to not use this
feature when sending midi data to converter.
LED pattern
Provides a choice of 1 of 8 patterns used to display the current clock count (quarter note beat) of the
current tempo for the visual keyboard LED clock reference.
