StroboPLUS HDC Metronome Video Instructional Manual - 1 Metronome Overview

StroboPLUS HDC Metronome Overview:
The metronome screen is the second mode accessible when navigating through the StroboPLUS HDC modes by pressing the Mode Button. There are 3 main controls for operating the metronome:
The Parameter Button
The Value Wheel
and the Play / Pause button, which does just that - starts and stops the metronome.
The metronome sound can be heard through the on-board speaker or by use of the the 3.5mm TRS headphone jack which can be used for either headphones or to patch to suitable external audio equipment. The proprietary Vibe Out jack can be used to drive the Peterson Vibe-Clip accessory which allows the metronome to be felt rather than heard.
The metronome screen contains 100 presets that can be edited and saved either through the hardware interface or by the use of the Peterson Tuners website. The adjustable parameters of each preset include:
Tempo ( 10.0 to 280.0 Beats per Minute )
Tempo Beat Value ( Eighth Note, Quarter Note, Dotted Quarter Note, Half Note: Firmware version 1.0.15 and higher )
Beats per Measure ( 1 to 19 ) / Poly Element 1 ( 1 to 19 )
Meter Beat Value ( 2, 4, 8, 16 ) / Poly Element 2 ( 1 to 19 )
Subdivision ( Meter Dependant ) / Poly Beat Value
Accent Pattern ( Meter Dependant )
Preset Display Color ( 10 Default Colors )
Beat Flash ( On / Off )
Voice ( 1 - 5 )
In general, all parameters of the metronome can be easily adjusted by using a combination of the Parameter Button and the Value Wheel. Simply press the Parameter Button until the desired parameter flashes and then turn the Value Wheel to reach the value you would like. When you are done editing a parameter, you can either click IN on the Value Wheel or let the blinking parameter time-out. Tempo, however, is the default parameter and can be adjusted any time another parameter is NOT flashing. Only the decimal point of Tempo will flash to show it is ready to be adjusted. Some parameters, such as Preset Display Color, Beat Flash & Voice use shared areas of the display and will be hidden unless active by use of the Parameter Button. Switching Presets is done by adjusting the Preset Number Value. All other metronome parameters immediately save to the active Preset when adjusted. Therefore, adjusting the Preset number will load parameter values saved to that preset.
Any time a parameter value has been changed and confirmed by clicking IN on the Value Wheel, that parameter becomes first in the list when the Parameter Button is pressed again later. For example, if you recently made a change to the Subdivision of your preset, the next press of the Parameter Button will begin at the Subdivision parameter, allowing you to again change Subdivision without navigating through various other Parameters. However, pressing the Auto/Manual ( A / M ) button can be used as a shortcut to the Preset Parameter.
You can also ‘lock’ a parameter to the Parameter Wheel, meaning it will remain active, flashing and will never time out. This is useful when you would like to audition and compare the sound of various values without needing to press the Parameter button each time you make a change. When the desired parameter is flashing, press and hold the parameter button for 2 seconds. When locked, the value will continue to flash and the Value Wheel can be used to adjust the value at any time until the Parameter Button is used to select a different parameter.
Any parameter can be set back to its default value by pressing and holding the Value Wheel for 2 seconds or until the red LED flashes once.

I just thought about how this is probably wired, and realize that this would probably require hardware changes rather than software changes. I have adequate solutions to move forward😊

Just received my HDC. Came here to see if the Metrodome can go through the 1/4 output. To use with practice amp through headphones for silent practice. From this UA-cam instruction, it appears it cannot, it can either use the onboard speaker or out the headphone jack. My options to accomplish my goal are to use a headphone jack y splitter to the 1/4 out, or to use a separate headphone y into headphones, or use a 2nd headphone (wired earbuds -one L/R-) inside my headphones that my guitar is playing through. I will use the last option. I think this may be a reasonable option to have in the settings of the HDC. I do see that the sound quality would be impacted be the effects and amp settings as a negative, but... Negligible considering practice situations for understanding persons. I am grabbing some old earbuds and going back to practice. Love this tuner/Metrodome. Brings confidence. And is dialing in my bended note targets and vibrato. 😊❤🪕🎸🙏

The StroboPLUS HDC Metronome output only routes through the 3.5mm headphone jack. It is a TRS stereo output. Either a TRS splitter or a TRS-TS adapter would be needed to route the output to a TS input on an amplifier.

The extra headphones bud in my ear works under my headphones.. 😁 just need a longer cord. Works for today. I'll get a splitter for my headphones creating an input from the amp and HDC... 🎸🎸🙏
