practice session is paused, the button functions as the Tap Tempo or
Tap Start control.
Click Depth Control
During a practice session, the Click Depth control adjusts the “depth,”
or frequency, of the subdivided metronome clicks. For example, if the
subdivision is 32
nd
notes at a quick tempo, you might want to reduce
the clicks to a lower subdivision such as 16
th
notes, 8
th
notes, or quarter
notes. At faster tempos, this can make it easier to distinguish your
strokes from the audible metronome clicks. Each time you press the
Click/Tap button, you reduce the click depth by half until only the
quarter note beat sounds. Even if you reduce the click depth, Beatnik
still records and scores all strokes for the selected note subdivision.
To change the click depth:
1. Press the
Start/Pause
button to start playback.
2. Press the
Click/Tap
button to adjust the click depth.
Tap Tempo / Tap Start Control
The Tap control works as either a Tap Tempo control or a Tap Start
control. The Tap Tempo control simply sets the tempo based on
strokes on the drum pad, allowing you to manually start a practice
session later. The Tap Start control sets the tempo and automatically
starts a practice session based on a number of countoff beats that you
specify, allowing you to start a practice session “on the fly.”
To use the Tap Tempo function:
1. With Beatnik paused, press the Click/Tab button once.
2. Strike the drum pad twice and view the resulting tempo.
Note
: The tempo displayed assumes you are playing quarter
notes.
