For TL Metro to work in conjunction with the Pro Tools transport in “linked” mode, it must receive MIDI from Pro Tools. This is configured in each Pro Tools session.

To configure Pro Tools versions 7.x or higher for use with TL Metro:

1 Create a new Pro Tools session.

2 Create a new audio, Auxiliary Input, or Instrument track.

3 Insert TL Metro on the new track.

4 Ensure that Options > Click is enabled.

To configure Pro Tools versions 6.9 or earlier for use with TL Metro:

1 Select MIDI > Click Options.

2 In the Click Options dialog, ensure that the velocity for the accented note is higher than that of the unaccented note. By default, they should be 127 and 100 respectively.

3 Click OK.

4 Ensure that the MIDI > Click is enabled.

To configure Pro Tools versions 6.1 or earlier for use with TL Metro, you must also do the following:

1 Select MIDI > MIDI Beat Clock.

2 Enable MIDI Beat Clock.
