metro2
metro2 — Trigger Metronome with Swing and Accents
Initialization
iamp - off-beat click amplitude
initphase - initial phase value (in the 0 to 1 range)
Performance
ktrig - output trigger signal
kfreq - frequency of trigger bangs in cps
kswing - value (in the 0 to 1 range)
metro2 is a modification of 'classic' metro opcode with additional swinging. The swinging clicks can be modulated at k-rate. Also, swinging clicks can have their own amplitude value set by iamp.

metro2 as well as metro will produce a trigger signal of 1 when its phase is exactly 0 or 1. If you want to skip the initial trigger, use a very small value like 0.00000001. |
