As someone who occasionally performs live with a click, it would be very helpful to be able to have the a button/option to make the metronome be the same sound for all 4 beats.
Currently, beat 1 has a certain (louder) sound and the rest of the beats a different sound. This is disadvantageous in several scenarios:
Some songs have measures with an odd number of beats (occasional measures of 2/4 or 7/8) that throw the accented beat off.
On certain metronome sounds, the unaccented beats are hard to hear. E.g., on block (my preferred sound), the shaker on beats 2,3,4 is difficult to hear.
The improvement, in conjunction with controlling the metronome via MIDI in this topic:
I don’t have access to my QC right now, but I thought you can change the accents by clicking on the dots. And also make them disappear. But I might be hallucinating need to try when I’m back home.
I’m not in front of my QC right now, but can confirm what Andyjcp said : you can click on the dots to change the sound / mute them (at least in Cortex Control, when I tried it a while ago, but it should be the same on the QC itself)
That’s the kind of thing not really mentionned in the doc, just like in the Pattern Tremolo block, I noticed that you can multi-select several bands by click-and-drag the ‘numbers’ above each bar (there’s a small ‘i’ button that mention this !)
I don’t know how you guys stumbled on this, but thank you! This does indeed solve it. One step closer to performing w/ a click!
For anyone else that needs this, the dots refers to the dots representing each metronome beat, not a dot menu. Tap each one to cycle through the options (accent, no accent, no sound, and accent but lower tone). Very cool.
Glad it helped.
