Using the Metronome on the Akai MPC 4000

In this next part I'm going to be explaining to you all the metronome options within the metronome screen. You can change the way it plays, how it plays, and when it plays. To effect the metronome you start at the now block and move on to the metronome. You could also turn on the metronome, on and off, by clicking the on and off block right here. By clicking the window button you can choose more options within the metronome window. The count-in actually figures out when you want the metronome to play, if you only want it to play during the recording or if you want it to play during the recording and the playing. It also lets you affect the rate, you can do it by quarter notes, sixteenth notes, eighth notes, triplets, whatever you feel like it. And you can also do a wait for key, which only starts the metronome when you play. The next thing is in play you can turn on and end record. You could also turn it off right here. Another thing you could also do is affect the sound and the level of the metronome click.
