Metric modulation

Metric modulation · ♩ = 90 → ♩. = 90 → ♪ = 270

Choose the note value represented by the click. Its interval in seconds is 60/BPM. Keep the pulse internally through silent clicks.

Example

Counting cue / check · ♩ = 90 → ♩. = 90 / ♪ = 270

Counting cue / check

♩ = 90 → ♩. = 90 ♪ = 270

How would you test the internal pulse?

Answer

Count two bars and match the next downbeat with the click. If it drifts, vocalise the subdivision more slowly first.
