Play and practise

Practice tools

Loop a few bars, let Tempo Ramp walk the tempo up as the loop comes round, or practise against a plain click.

The gear at the right of the transport opens Practice, with three tabs: Loop, Ramp and Metro.

A-B loop

The quickest loop is the loop button on the transport: tap it to loop the whole song, tap again to stop. Press and hold it and choose Customize range… to loop part of the song; when the loop is shorter than the song, a small badge on the button shows its bars.

In the Loop tab, set A and B with their steppers, or play to the bar you want and tap the target button beside A or B to set it to the bar you're on. The top line reads back the range, for example Bars 5–8 (4 bars). Loop entire song and Clear are underneath.

Tempo Ramp

Tempo Ramp moves the tempo a step every time round the loop, or every few times, so you can start a hard passage slow and walk it up to speed without touching anything.

  1. Set the loop to the passage you're working on.

  2. Turn on Tempo ramp in the Ramp tab (in the BPM chip's sheet it's called Practice ramp). If nothing is looped yet, Leganote loops the whole song for you.

  3. Set Start, Target, Step (1 to 40 BPM) and Every (1 to 20 loops). The BPM chip's sheet has no Start row: its tempo slider sets the start.

  4. Press play. The line under the BPM reads it back, for example Speed up to 140 BPM, +5 BPM every 2 loops.

Set the target below the start and it slows down instead. The Ramp chip on the transport turns it on and off and shows the target while it runs, and Reset in the tempo sheet turns it off and goes back to the song's tempo.

Metronome

The Metro tab is a click of its own, separate from the band. Turn it on, then set:

Tempo
30 to 300 BPM. It starts at the song's current tempo.
Subdivision
Quarter, Eighth, Triplet, 16th or Shuffle.
Beats per bar
Where the accent falls, 1 to 12, or No accent.
