FreeStyle’s “riff” metronome is probably one of the most musical metronomes you’ve ever encountered. A riff can be any musical phrase you want. FreeStyle provides a list of stock drum loops as riffs, but you can make your own riffs out of anything, such as a bass part or keyboard lick. To use a riff, choose it from the pop-up menu in the Metronome window. To add your own riff to the menu, either save it into FreeStyle’s Metronomes folder as a standard MIDI file, or select anything you’ve recorded into FreeStyle and use the Save As Metronome command in the Region menu. Then start jamming. Once you’ve got some ideas down, you can convert the metronome riff into a player using the Become Player button below to fine-tune it.
