How do I change metronome settings?

Metronome settings can be accessed in two ways:

• To change the speed of the metronome (bpm), tap the metronome button display at the far left of the control panel on the Tap Screen. A larger popup menu with a slider and stepper control allows you to change the speed from 15 to 300 bpm.  You also have the option to assign the same speed to all patterns in the current set. Press done to save the changes. On the Custom screen, metronome slider and stepper controls are available in the editing area.
• To change the metronome sounds, use the Sound Options menu inside the Settings menu.

What are the MIDI options?

MIDI options include:

• Select the MIDI note that marks the split between left and right pads when using a MIDI device to tap double rhythms.
• Select the MIDI note to use for hi hat, snare, and kick drum pads when using a MIDI device to tap drumkit rhythms.
• Turn MIDI Send on or off. When MIDI Send is on, Rhythm Lab’s internal sounds are ignored, and the sounds from MIDI apps or devices found on the iPad system will play instead.
• Bluetooth MIDI – find Bluetooth MIDI devices within range of the iPad and select/turn on Bluetooth MIDI if it has not already been turned on by another app on the iPad.
