9. Metronome
The vPipes-Uilleann includes a complete metronome that you can activate to help strengthen
your sense of rhythm.
9.1. Switching the metronome on and off
Use the following sequence from the Home Screen to reach the metronome options:
x2 x2
9.2. Metronome relative volume adjustment
Sequence: x2   
You can adjust the metronome’s volume from 0 to 15. The volume will be relative to the
Master Volume level.
9.3. How to choose the time signature
It is very straightforward. Let’s see some examples:
- If you want to practice with a reel or hornpipe rhythm (4/4 time), select 4 on the Meter
Top parameter and 4 on the Meter Bottom parameter.
- If you want to practice with a jig rhythm (6/8 time), select 6 on the Meter Top parameter
and 8 on the Meter Bottom parameter.
- If you want to practice with a Bulgarian rhythm (7/8 time), select 7 on the Meter Top
parameter and 8 on the Meter Bottom parameter.
Sequence for Meter Top: x2  x2 
Sequence for Meter Bottom: x2  x3 
9.4. Metronome tempo
Sequence: x2  x4 
You can adjust this parameter from 0 to 20, 0 being the slowest tempo and 20 being the
fastest tempo.
One way of doubling the tempo speed is to double the Meter Bottom value. For example,
using 8 instead of 4 when playing a reel. Conversely, if you want to halve the tempo, divide
the Meter Bottom by two.
