Hello! Hopefully this is an easy one. I just got the 2015 Ultra Plus Pak installed on my newly built home studio machine (purchased 2016 but haven't updated yet), and the metronome function isn't working on playback or record in RealBand.
My primary concern was getting my electronic drum kit to play through EZDrummer. I got that all squared away, but now I need the metronome! Any ideas? I'm confident that it's probably user error on my part.
When I open the Mixer Window in RealBand it lets me activate the metronome. The button is the second button from the right in the transport window at the bottom left hand corner of the screen.
There you have the option of selecting Recording, Playback, and Metronome Settings. If a letter (P, R) is blue then the metronome is active with the respective function (Plaback, Recording).
I don't have 2015 ready to work, but it works in 2016 and since it has been there since 2012.5 it should work also in 2015
The metronome uses the default MIDI port, and on most systems requires the use of a GM compatible softsynth. Check the Metronome Settings in the Prefs area paying attention to the Port it is on and which synth is assigned to that port.
You may accidentally be sending the metronome to the EZDrummer or something.

PGMusic suggests using the windows MIDI driver when using the CoyoteWT this way, for what it's worth. MS Wavetable Synth All of this is found in Prefs - MIDI tab - MIDI Devices

Once again, thanks for the help! I thought that I'd follow up with what worked for me. Since being able to live track with my electronic drum set and EZDrummer required access to my Focusrite interface's ASIO driver, using the MS Wavetable Synth was out. So, I instead wrote the metronome to a track and played it back through EZDrummer as I tracked using a cowbell sound.
The only thing that I'm still a little confused about is that RealBand doesn't seem to provide an audible 4 count before beginning playback or recording, just a visual one. Am I missing something?
the visual one should have audio also there is a write to track option in the metronome settings you can try my midi device is microsoft gs wavetable moved to the top re-route midi is ticked coyote is set as default with real band set to bar offset -2
