Metronome project settings in Logic Pro for iPad
The Metronome project settings let you configure two components for the click, which is generated when the metronome is turned on. You determine when the metronome produces a click (for example, only on the downbeat or on every beat) and also how the click sounds.
The click sound in Logic Pro for iPad is generated by a software instrument plug-in called Klopfgeist, loaded on a hidden channel strip. The metronome uses your settings to generate MIDI notes that it sends to the Klopfgeist plug-in, which generates the actual click sounds. See Use the metronome.
Note: You can adjust the metronome settings while playing back your project with the metronome turned on to hear the results.
Source
The four note events listed represent the timing in each bar where the click will sound. You can turn them on and off independently using their corresponding switches.
Bar: Generates a click at the downbeat.
Group: Projects created in Logic Pro have compound and composite signatures turned off by default. In that case, the Group note event produces a click on each beat.
Logic Pro supports beat grouping when importing a Logic Pro for Mac project that uses such a time signature. For example, a beat grouping of 2 + 3 for a 5/4 time signature produces a click on the first and third beat of each bar when you turn on the Group note event. Grouping also allows you to get a usable quarter-note pulse in “triplet”-based time signatures such as 6/8 (group click on 1 and 4) or 12/8 (group click on 1, 4, 7, and 10).
Beat: Generates a click on each beat.
Division: Generates a click on each 16th note.
Sound
Note and velocity are the parameters of the MIDI notes generated by the metronome and sent to the Klopfgeist plug-in that produces the sound. They can be set individually for each of the four note events and determine the sound of the clicks.
Note field: Defines the MIDI note number of the corresponding notes and, therefore, the pitch of the note events.
Velocity field: Defines the velocity of the corresponding MIDI notes.
Using a higher velocity for the Bar than the Beat events creates accents on the downbeat.
The following parameters adjust the controls of the Klopfgeist plug-in and the channel strip it is loaded on. The adjustments affect the sound of all clicks.
Tone field: Changes the click sound of the metronome from a short click to a pitched percussion sound, similar to a wood block or claves.
Volume field: Sets the output level of the click sound.
Output pop-up menu: Allows you to route the click sound to a different set of hardware outputs if the audio hardware has more than two outputs. See Multichannel audio devices.
Tip: Touch and hold the Metronome button 
in the control bar and choose Metronome Settings to open the Metronome project settings.
