Changing the click track voice

[Hybrige34]

How do I change the click track voice. Right now I can only get a piano note for my click. I don't know if it's getting the piano sound from my computer somewhere, or if it's just part of ProTools, but I can't figure out how to change it.

The click track sound SOURCE is NOT part of PT. PT is sending a midi signal to whatever midi sound source you have avalable. If you don't have any external sound modules, PT will use whatever general midi device that is avaible to the system. Most sound cards have a standard set of general midi sounds and that is most likely what you are hearing.

You can also search this formum for this subject. It has been talked about several times before.

Good luck,

Thanks G.Roots. I knew it had to be something simple.
Just in case anybody else wants to know what I did... I changed my Click Track output to Channel 10 in the Click Options window. I guess Channel 10 is typically used for percussion sounds. That gave me different drum sounds which I can change by changing the note value in the Click Options window.

you're right on. i also believe that patch 116 or so is a woodblock. (116 out of 127 that is)
